Stephonda will be joining Northwestern’s chemistry department this summer for organic chemistry research. We’re sure she will learn a lot and hopefully have some fun in Chicago while she is there!

Congrats Robert!
Join us in celebrating Robert graduating and heading to Northwestern University to pursue graduate studies! As a graduating senior, Robert was honored as the top physical chemistry student for 2021 – 2022 academic school year. Were all very proud of you Robert!
Inaugural Science Ambassadors – Reign in Science Day!
This past Saturday (9-18-21) Old Dominion University Department of Chemistry held it’s first Reign in Science Day organized by Drs. Bender, Hardy, and Lambert. Our Science Ambassadors took the opportunity to teach local families about their recent chemistry research through interactive and engaging research activities. Some of the research demonstrations included assembling puzzles of natural products (great job Kellen!), predicting favorite ice cream flavors using machine learning concepts (great job Shannon!), and other activities such as planetarium shows, elephant toothpaste and hydrogen balloon demos, lab tours and converting pennies into brass curated by Shayne and Robert (awesome job guys!), among others. It was a great opportunity to give back to the community and it was fun to see everyone having a good time!
