Paper published on incorporating snow chemistry research in the intro chem lab classroom!

Congratulations to Pratt Lab PhD students Nate May and Stephen McNamara, as well as former post-docs Dr. Siyuan Wang and Dr. Katie Kolesar, on their manuscript published in the Journal of Chemical Education! It describes our novel introductory chemistry laboratory course that involves a semester-long authentic research project studying Arctic snow chemistry.

Welcome Dr. Qianjie Chen!

Welcome Dr. Qianjie Chen! Qianjie recently completed his PhD in Atmospheric Science in Prof. Becky Alexander's group at the University of Washington. He joined the Pratt Lab to learn about chemical ionization mass spectrometry and study wintertime and polar atmospheric chemistry.

Pratt Lab at the American Chemical Society meeting!

Pratt Lab PhD student Nate May gave two talks about our environmental chemistry education work at the American Chemical Society meeting. Undergraduate students Alexa Watson and Guy Burke gave posters about their analytical chemistry undergraduate research. Prof. Pratt received the 2018 James J. Morgan Environmental Science & Technology Early Career Award and gave an associated invited lecture!
