Journal club will return next week.

Have lunch and discuss the work of this week’s seminar speaker. The paper we’ll be discussing will be found here.

As always, we have a lot going on in the department. In particular, we have a great line up of seminars. You should make an effort to attend our Friday seminars (3:30 p.m., in Olin 04) whenever possible. We start off the term this Friday with our very own Buck Taylor, who will be talking about his research on computational chemistry and chemical catalysis. Please visit the seminar page, where you can see the rest of speakers scheduled this year.

We also encourage you to go to lunch with the speaker on most Fridays (check the window of the Mudd computer room for the time). Meeting these visitors, whether over lunch or by attending seminar, is a terrific way to learn about the breadth of opportunities in chemistry and related fields. On Thursdays during common time, meet with Chemistry faculty for Periodic Table or Journal Club.
