The fall semester is so close to being over (only one month left) and yet so much research still needs to be done! Currently in lab, a dynamic solution procedure is being used to study how a dynamic environment would affect mineralization. Juan is using a syringe pump (aptly named LaLa by Jason Miech) to deliver around 1 mL of solution per hour to the instrument. There have been many bumps in the road with this project, but Juan has persevered. Like Dr. Gerdon says, “Nothing Daunts a Chemist!”. Other than research, Juan has been juggling coursework and classes, other work, and life. His senior year is almost halfway done, and distinction gradually approaches.
