Prof. Link Flyer Title: Insights from Single Particle Spectroscopy of Plasmonic Nanostructures Abstract: A surface plasmon in a metal nanoparticle is the coherent oscillation of the conduction band electrons leading to both absorption and scattering as well as strong local electromagnetic fields. These fundamental properties have been exploited in many different ways, including surface enhanced […] |

Seminar Sponsored by Organization for Cultural Diversity in Science Prof Wilkerson Hill Flyer Title: Orphaned Cyclopropanes Abstract: Cyclopropanes are strained carbocycles that have fascinated chemists for decades with many established methods for their construction. Unfortunately, many methods struggle to build cyclopropanes containing only alkyl functionality, which limits access to antiviral medicines (e.g., nirmatrelvir), pyrethroid insecticides […]

Flyer: Dickerson Lecture Flyer - Robert M. Stroud Title: “Caught in the Act! - Building the Wall!" Abstract: From the atomic structure of the first protein, Myoglobin in which Richard Dickerson played the key role(1), proteins were necessarily purified from large animals. Now complex machines can be 'tagged' and purified endogenously from cells growing under […] |
