To kick-off the start of summer, GSA is co-hosting a bonfire with 7 other graduate organizations!
 
The event will be held on Saturday, May 18th at Cavalry Church’s Harvest Field (the upper pond firepit).
 
We are so excited for this event and cannot wait to see everyone there!

Congratulations to Florian and Nushrat on their Service Awards from BMMB and Chemistry, respectively! We're so inspired by their dedication to making Penn State BMB Penn State Chemistry and Penn State Eberly College of Science even better!

We are excited to announce graduating chemistry major Kayla Hauer is our 2024 Penn State Chemistry commencement marshal!

Kayla has been working in the Beth Elacqua lab synthesizing, purifying and characterizing a new monomer scaffold to polymerize!

Today at 2pm!

Pleased to share our new article 'A new reagent for in vivo structure probing of RNA G and U residues that improves RNA structure prediction alone and combined with DMS' out in RNA. Collaboration with Paul Babitzke.

!!!

Pleased to share that U.S. National Science Foundation has launched #NCEMS , a center led by Penn State Chemistry's Ed O'Brien supporting large-scale data integration to tackle big questions intersecting mol. and cellular bio. Congrats to this talented team and excited to be part of it!

For Earth Day the Chem GSA is going to be doing a Mt. Nittany Hike on Sunday April 28th at 10 am.
 
If you would need a ride to and from the event or if you are able to provide transportation it would be great if you could fill out the Carpool Form (forms.office.com/r/nfbxSwPLMQ)!

Last week Nobel laureate Ben Feringa visited Penn State Chemistry for the Allcock Alumni Group Lecture in Polymers and Materials Chemistry.

He presented very exciting research his group is working on in molecular nanoscience and the design/synthesis of molecular switches and motors!

#MARM2024 is looking for volunteers, are you ready to step up? Regional meetings are fully run through the efforts of volunteers, and we would love your help. If you are interested in serving please check out our website: sites.psu.edu/marm2024/volun… or reach out today.

Melanie R. McReynolds and Vivian Briones Valenty are two Eberly College of Science alumnae who were recognized by @gradschoolpsu's Alumni Society Awards.

Please join us in congratulating them both! And read more about them at buff.ly/3U7BZcQ
