Hey! My name is Ian, I'm a sophomore at
Hey gang! My name is Jay, I am a sophomore here at Alma and a full time resident of KAP157 located in DOW. I eat sleep and breathe chemistry, and I hope you do as well or you wouldn't be alive!! I'm a chemistry major looking to go to grad school for a PhD in Inorganic or possibly Organic Chemistry. As of now I have done research on Molybdenum Dithiolene complexes and starting a new topic on binding of heterocyclic molecules. It includes an iron complex which hopefully will bind O2 just as our hemes do. I also look to come back and teach chemistry at Alma... Wish me luck!! You can contact Jason Vanderhovel @10jdvand@alma.edu.
Hello! My name is Paul and I am a Biology major here at Alma College. Although I am not a Chemistry major, I enjoy spending a large portion of my time with the Chemistry department and the Chemistry Club; I am actually the lab manager responsible for inventory and other miscellaneous tasks. My main research in Biology is with Bacillus thuringiensis toxins using the Emerald Ash Borer as a source of genetic material, and the thermal ecology of painted turtles (Chrysemys picta). I would like to attend graduate school for Ecology and Evolutionary Biology or Microbiology and Molecular Genetics. You can contact Paul Converse at 10peconv@alma.edu.
Hey, I'm Kelsey! I'm a junior Biochemistry major and currently I'm planning on attending graduate school with an emphasis on toxicology and enzymology. Above, you can see me in what is known as my natural habitat, the lobby of Dow. I can frequently be found either studying there or working in a lab somewhere. In addition to my normal classes, I like to do independent research and have worked with professors in three departments at Alma and one at the University of Michigan through a Research Experience for Undergraduates program. Outside of science, I'm involved as a class officer and a member of a sorority on campus.
