Welcome to the Pratt Lab blog! Dr. Kerri Pratt is an assistant professor in the Departments of Chemistry and Earth & Environmental Sciences and faculty associate of the Program in the Environment at the University of Michigan. We study the chemical interactions of atmospheric trace gases, particles, clouds, and snow, with a focus on the Polar Regions and wintertime environments. Our interdisciplinary research has relevance to climate change, air quality, and human health. As an analytical chemistry lab, we primarily apply novel mass spectrometry techniques to our field research. We invite you to follow our adventures in (and outside!) the lab!

CHEM 125/126 - Snow Chemistry Poster Session Wednesday

The semester poster session for CHEM 125/126, section 400 (General Chemistry Laboratory - Authentic Research Experience in Snow Chemistry), will be Wed Dec 10 from 2:20-4:00 pm in the lower atrium of the Chemistry building. 28 freshman and sophomore undergraduate students will be presenting individual research posters about Arctic snow chemical composition and atmospheric impacts! Posters will be judged by UM Department of Chemistry faculty, post-docs, and graduate students from CSIE-UM. This course was developed by Prof. Pratt with funding from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute through the University of Michigan Authentic Research Connection. The overaching goal of the course is to enhance STEM retention.  Notably, 77% of the class is female, with two students in the UM Comprehensive Studies Program.
