A variety of SUNY Fredonia chemistry students, faculty and alumni attended the American Chemical Society (ACS) National Meeting on Monday, March 23, in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Nicole Earnshaw and Jeremy Wignall, two undergraduate research students currently working in the lab of Dr. Cheryl Campo, an assistant professor in the department of chemistry and biochemistry, gave presentations at the meeting.
Earnshaw, a senior from Fulton, N.Y., majoring in molecular genetics, also collaborated with Dr. Wayne Yunghans of the department of biology, along with some of his research students.
Also present at the ACS National Meeting was SUNY Fredonia alumnus Christopher Andolina, ’01, ’05, who was presenting his research at the meeting for his doctoral degree program, in collaboration with Dr. Matthew Fountain, associate professor in Fredonia’s department of chemistry and biochemistry.
On the final day, Earnshaw, Wignall and Campo met one of the meeting's prominent presenters, Fredonia alumnus Dr. Michael Marletta, ’73. Dr. Marletta, who received Fredonia’s 1993 Outstanding Alumni Achievement Award, was also presenting his most recent research. He is currently the Chair of the Department of Chemistry at the University of California at Berkeley.
With more than 154,000 members, the ACS is the world’s largest scientific society and one of the world’s leading sources of authoritative scientific information. A nonprofit organization chartered by Congress, it is at the forefront of the evolving worldwide chemical enterprise and the premier professional home for chemists, chemical engineers and related professionals around the globe.
