Attend Our ACS Program In a Box Event!!

ACS Program In A Box

The Future of Food

This semester's Program In A Box is on The Future of Food!

The live stream will have Professor Selina Wang and Dr. Daniela Barile of UC Davis discuss their research in the purity of supermarket olive oil and chemical and biological components of milk. Stop by to learn more about the impact of food in global issues!

Join us in Ventura Room at the Sol Center on Tuesday, February 25th from 3:45 to 5:15 pm!!

For any additional questions contact us at csunchemclub@gmail.com or visit  https://www.acs.org/content/acs/en/acs-webinars/program-in-a-box/pib-on-demand/food.html.

Stanford Summer Research Program!!!

Stanford Summer Research Program!!!

An Amgen Scholars Program Site

Are you interested in research or considering getting a PhD?

The Stanford Summer Research Program is a nine-week intensive course from June to August that gives students the opportunity to do research at Stanford, one of the world's leading research institutions. Students in the program will work with world class faculty, state-of-the-art research facilities, and receive personalized mentoring.

This summer research program is also fully funded, including housing, meals, and the cost of round-trip travel, plus a $3600 stipend!

Summer research can be done in one of the following areas: biochemistry, bioengineering, biomedical informatics, biology, biophysics, cancer biology, chemical and systems biology, developmental biology, genetics, immunology, microbiology and immunology, molecular and cellular physiology, neurosciences, stem cell biology and regenerative medicine, and structural biology.

Eligibility Criteria:

• U.S. citizens, permanent residents or students under DACA
• Undergraduate students enrolled in 4-year universities in the U.S., Puerto Rico or other U.S. territories
• Sophomores (with 4 quarters or 3 semesters of college experience), juniors, or non-graduating seniors
• A cumulative GPA of 3.2 or above
• Past Amgen Scholars are not eligible

Application can be found at http://ssrp.stanford.edu. 

Applications must be turned in online and will require a statement of purpose, two letters of recommendation, and an unofficial college transcript. 

Applications are available in early November and are due February 1st.

ACS Program In A Box 2019!

ACS Program In A Box 2019!

This year's theme for the American Chemical Society's Program In A Box was Marvelous Metals organometallic chemistry! ACS invited two experts in organometallic chemistry, Professor Vy Maria Dong and Professor Thomas J. Meade, to discuss their research and answer questions during the live broadcast.

Professor Vy Maria Dong is a professor in UC Irvine that researches organometallic chemistry. Professor Dong discussed the importance of transition metals in organic chemistry and the types of reactions that make them useful. Examples of how transition metals are important in organic chemistry include palladium cross-coupling, stereo chemistry, and polymerization.

Professor Thomas J. Meade does research using molecular imaging at Northwestern Chemistry of Life Processes Institute. Professor Meade describes molecular imaging as the ability to visualize and investigate complex biochemical processes in their natural environment. This includes injected imaging agents, x-ray, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, and nuclear imaging.

After the live broadcast the prizes ACS sent in the box were raffled off. See some of the winners in the image above!

Come To Our ACS Program in a Box Event!!!!

The American Chemical Society has an annual event in which each university participates online in a live interactive video broadcast featuring presentations and Q&A with experts in organometallic chemistry.

This year, Professor Vy Maria Dong will discuss the importance of organic chemistry processes to the industries that power modern society and how she is using metals to create improved reagents, catalysts, and strategies for a more sustainable and greener future. Additionally, Professor Thomas J. Meade will define molecular imaging, what it can currently do in the clinic, and how his “bioactivated” or “conditionally activated” probes could revolutionize how we diagnose and even treat patients during the diagnostic phase.

Check out "Marvelous Metal Trivia" on Twitter with #ACSPIB and be the first to answer to get a shout out live on-air! And get a chance to meet thousands of fellow students and professionals around the world via Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram by posting the event hashtag #ACSPIB. Join us on Tuesday October 22nd at 3:45 pm in the Flintridge Room in the East conference center to participate in Program in a Box and for a chance to win prizes!
