February - ACS Program-in-a-Box webinar: Chemistry on the Silver Screen
We learned how chemists and chemistry have influenced movies and TV shows like Breaking Bad, Gravity, Battlestar Galactica, and Eureka through the webinar and live Q&A with the science advisers who work in the industry.
January - Designing Spaces for Effective Science: Center for the Sciences and Innovation at Trinity University
The new CSI complex was designed to foster and promote interdisciplinary research and teaching, effective pedagogy, and science appreciation across campus by intentional integration of disciplines through proximity and interest groupings. The productive collisions that result when faculty in different areas come together create the opportunities that lead to new insights and enhance both research and teaching.
Drs. David Ribble (Biology) and Wilson Terrill (Engineering Science) described the design and implementation of CSI, and chemistry faculty provided tours of the chemistry spaces and their experiences teaching and researching in this new multi-disciplinary environment. The presentation and tours concluded with a dessert reception!
It was a fabulous and eye-opening experience! I encourage anyone who has the time to visit the CSI, look around, and ask questions - you'll be glad you did!
