CSN faculty member Cathy Murphy, Larry Faulkner Endowed Chair in Chemistry at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, has been elected to the 2019 class of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. The Academy’s website states, “The American Academy of Arts and Sciences today announced the election of its new members for 2019. The new class of more than 200 members recognizes the outstanding achievements of individuals in academia, the arts, business, government, and public affairs.” Congratulations, Cathy!
CSN graduate student Diamond Jones (Mason group) has been awarded a Carl Storm Underrepresented Minority (CSURM) Fellowship to support her participation in the 2019 Environmental Nanotechnology Gordon Research Conference. Congratulations, Diamond!
Jenny Klutts (Rosenzweig group) successfully defended her Master’s thesis, entitled “Molecular level studies of the impact of poly (oxonorbornenes) on D. rerio. embryos.” Congratulations Jenny!
Congratulations to CSN grad students Becky Curtis (left) and Eric Ostovich (right), both from the lab of Rebecca Klaper at UW-Milwaukee, who won awards for their research presentation posters at the Midwest Society for Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry meeting in LaCrosse last week! Becky won the “best poster presentation” award for her poster titled “Next-generation battery cathode material lithium cobalt oxide (LCO) nanosheets and metabolomic impacts to freshwater crustacean Daphnia magna.” Eric won “runner-up” for his poster “Developing an in vitro model from Daphnia magna to evaluate the molecular Interactions of nanoparticles.”
