Matt Whited, Professor of Chemistry
For Matt Whited, science is ultimately about asking questions — not always answering them. After all, there’s an entire periodic table to play with, so the opportunities for critical inquiry are endless.
“Students get their best science education when they have to deal with problems where the answers are unknown. Those are authentic research experiences. It gives you skills and perspective that you can take into any field for the rest of your life.”
