BLINN CHEMISTRY STUDENTS MAKE PRESENTATIONS AT AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY MEETING
Seven Blinn students recently represented the college at the world’s largest chemistry conference.
Garrett Harmon, Andrew Kinnison, Amy White, Tyler Clark Cameron Tann, Megan Seewald Damon and Kimberly Morris teamed with professors Dr. Lee Bienski, Dr. Beverly Clement and Dr. Chammi Miller from the Division of Science, Engineering and Math to present four unique abstracts at the American Chemical Society’s National Meeting and Expositions in Dallas. An estimated 50,000 chemists and other scientists were at the conference, held March 16th through the 20th.
The student abstracts explore remedies for heavy metal contaminated water, test commercial supplements for specific toxins and analyze properties of molecules in cooking oil.
Each student who attended the conference is enrolled in the advanced chemistry cooperative at the college. This is a course designed to integrate on campus study with practical, hands on experience. An invitation to the American Chemical Society’s National Meeting is the pinnacle of the course.
