Guest Undergraduate Research Student, Harrison Vogel, is a junior at Kalamazoo College, my alma mater, who came to experience a research environment during his semester off from Jan – March. His work was presented at the regional ACS poster competition in Greensboro. He received a HHMI summer research fellowship and will be back to finish his senior independent project, a requirement for all graduates of Kalamazoo College.
Graduate student, Ryan Oliver (not pictured) spent the semester writing up his thesis work, which he successfully defended on April 7, 2010. He was accepted into the NIST neutron scattering summer school for May 10 -14. Thomas Walsh Research Fellow, Jon Trullinger, continued his Master’s thesis work, which he presented at the National ACS meeting in San Francisco, March 24, 2010 as well as the regional ACS poster competition held at Syngenta in Greensboro, NC.
