This past Sunday was the first open house of the semester and since I work for admissions, I was required to work the event. I was tasked with the awesome job of giving tours of the chemistry labs to budding chemistry majors! I particularly enjoyed telling them about the research that our team does as well as the other research opportunities on campus. It was really great to see so many students interested in chemistry. Who knows…. Maybe one of them will be a future member of the GRAB Lab!!...

Dr. Gerdon was fortunate to travel to Girona, Spain to represent the group at the Gordon Research Conference in Biomineralization in August. What a great conference! The research presentations were even more beautiful than the location and country-side. It was amazing to learn more about the biology, methodology, ocean chemistry, and organisms involved in biomineralization. The research community was very welcoming and Dr. Gerdon was able to make good connections for the group. Dr. Gerdon presented a poster on: Effects of Rheological Parameters on Mineral Formation in a Microfluidic Device by Aren Gerdon, Aimee Sanford, and Geoff Conklin Here are some shots of Girona and...
