Students Present Research at National ACS Meeting Heather McMillen and Sara Beetem, both members of the Walters research group, attended the ACS National Meeting in Anaheim, California from 3/27-3/30. During this trip, both presented posters detailing their research progress since starting research last year. Heather's poster was entitled "Synthesis of a New Fullerene/Transition Metal Bridge for Charge Transfer Applications," and Sara's poster was entitled "Synthesis of a New Ligand to Facilitate Multi-metallic Chains." Both posters received interest from other chemists when presented during the undergraduate research poster session on March 29. Sara and Heather also participated in the undergraduate program while in Anaheim, learning about the LA Crime Lab, ideas to fund their graduate education, and chemistry in general by attended several research talks. The warm sunny weather was a great reward for their hard work in the lab. Good job, Heather and Sara!
