Department of Chemistry's Inaugural Caress Lecture: Molecular Descriptions of Nanoscale Synthesis and Materials

One of the revolutionary capabilities of modern chemistry is to control molecular structure atom-by-atom. This exquisite control allows chemists to prepare an enormous array of society-shaping molecules from cancer medicines to car bumpers. As the target of synthesis gets larger, this atom-by-atom control naturally becomes more challenging. At this boundary between molecular synthesis and bulk materials design are nanomaterials.

Conversations that Matter - Identity Formation in the Digital Age

The internet has revolutionized how we communicate and left almost no area of our everyday lives untouched - from how we shop and entertain ourselves to how we debate political questions and tend to our most intimate relationships. Discussions of what these changes mean for education tend to focus on students' cognition - how they think, learn, acquire and evaluate knowledge. In this talk, Dr.
