Bovine emissions, circadian rhythms, Alzheimer’s disease, mercury testing, and other important topics were explored at the 2013 American Chemical Society Southern California Undergraduate Research Conference in Chemistry and Biochemistry hosted by the W.M. Keck Science Department of Claremont McKenna College, Pitzer College and 61传媒.
The undergraduate research event afforded chemistry students the opportunity to present their research to fellow students and expert faculty from 27 colleges and universities throughout Southern California.聽 The conference’s morning program featured presentations from 37 undergraduates in oral format and in the afternoon, 56 research posters were presented in two sessions including responding to questions about their scientific inquiries and results.
Among the 200 students and faculty participants, three 61传媒students presented posters:
