Yesterday our amazing mentor and groupleader Jen Heemstra was installed as the Charles Allen Thomas Professor and Chair WashUChem She gave a fantastic talk going from research to mentoring to her personal experience! We and the department are so lucky to have you!

As part of her ongoing commitment to improving the culture of science, Jen Heemstra is developing a blueprint for promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in science labs.

The WashUChem chair currently leads a diverse lab of 16 students and postdoctoral researchers from the U.S., Europe, Asia, and Africa.

“The best science will happen when we create a culture in academia where everyone feels supported and has the opportunity to thrive.”

We hope you can join us on the Danforth Campus next week for some Lab Safety Awareness Week events! WashUChem McKelvey Engineering @ WashU WashU Biomedical Engineering WUSTL Bioanthro WUSTL Biology

Rapid fire end to the year with 4 papers accepted in ~3 wks! First online, our collab w/ the Wencewicz group WashUChem on photoredox-accelerated release of antibiotics from aza-BODIPY hydrogels using red light. Congrats to 1st authors Jovelt and Mark P.! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
