Congrats to Juan, Marissa, Georgia, and Dennis on an awesome semester of research. We had amazing achievements and we have even bigger goals for the Spring, including a successful ACS conference, DITF, graduation, and more. We’re excited that Noah and Mia also got into the lab for some awesome experiments and that lots of new students are thinking...

It was amazing to welcome 60 high school chemistry students, along with GRAB Lab alum Dr. Gian Grant, to the Emmanuel College campus today. The students were here to work on their own research projects by making use of the EC Library resources. Diane Zydlewski in the Library walked them through journal article resources and citation styles. The campus tour...

As the Fall semester is nearing its end, Marissa has once again been synthesizing more gold nanoparticles, trying new variations of place exchange reactions, purifying, and characterizing her samples. She has found that performing some place exchange reactions have potential to produce what she has been hoping for in her research. She is excited for the...

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...

Dennis’ senior year has started, but there is still much to do in research! In the beginning, balancing schoolwork and lab work took some time to get used to. However, he has now set a weekly routine to focus on both! He is continuing his work on mineralizing with different-sized nanoparticles and has started attaching DNA to the larger ones. However,...

Georgia just started sophomore year! She is is excited to begin research again after her August hiatus. Right now, she has pivoted back to trying to figure out the DNA origami melt experiments using the qPCR instrument. The goal here is to measure origami and array stability. She is trying a new technique where she purifies the 6HB and then makes the...
