Congratulations to CSN student Eric Melby, who won second place last week at the Sustainable Nanotechnology Organization’s Nano Pitch Contest! The contest took place at the 2015 SNO Conference in Portland, Oregon, and required students to “pitch a problem or opportunity connected with your sustainable nanotechnology research in a clear, compelling manner in 100 seconds.”
Congratulations to CSN student Ese Ehimiaghe, whose recent blog post, “How Perceived Fears May Influence Companies Labeling of Nanoparticles,” was chosen as a ScienceSeeker Editor’s Selection for the week of Sept 27-Oct 3, 2015. Well done! #sciseekpicks
Congratulations to CSN student Melissa Muth, who won the second place Poster Prize for the Division of Chemical Toxicology at the American Chemical Society meeting in Boston last month. Melissa's poster, "Impact of Core Composition and Surface Chemistry of Semiconductor Quantum Dots on their Stability in Biological Solutions," was co-authored by Richard Brown, Taeyjuana Curry, and Zeev Rosenzweig. Dr. Rosenzweig's lab is at the University of Maryland – Baltimore County.
Congratulations to CSN student Mimi Hang, who received an Outstanding Student Presentation Award for her talk at the recent American Chemical Society meeting in Boston, entitled "Investigation of the impact of Li1/3Ni1/3Mn1/3Co1/3O2 (NMC) nanoparticles on bacterial model system Shewanella oneidensis MR-1." The presentation was part of the Division of Environmental Chemistry Symposium on Environmental Transformation of Nanoparticles, and described a collaboration among the Hamers and Pedersen labs at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the Haynes group at the University of Minnesota.
