Abstract submission for ACS #MWRM is still open for our symposium “The good, the bad and the ugly” where we would love to hear from #DEI efforts by groups and individuals. This is open for everyone (not just chemistry friends). Submit today!

A great workshop from @BurrowsCER! We were so lucky to learn from her! Thank you😍

[Cole Research Group @ResearchCole]

Huge thanks to @BurrowsCER for her wonderful workshop on designing infographics! We learned a lot and can't wait to share our research through infographics with all the skills we learned today!

New Paper!! Check out this awesome literature review all about chemical bonding⬇️🥳

Kevin and Johnny have worked very hard on this and we are so happy this is out now!

@CarterRadiochem Congratulations, Brett

[Becker Research Group @UIBeckergroup]

Exciting stuff for Leah! We are eager to hear about her time at the SSEC this summer.

[Becker Research Group @UIBeckergroup]

Huge congrats to Lauren, Dalton, Leah, and Kevin for being recognized at the annual @uiowachem awards ceremony! They were recognized for their scholarships, fellowships, departmental duties, and more!

We are so proud of you and your accomplishments. Cheers to a great summer!

[Becker Research Group @UIBeckergroup]

Congratulations to Lauren who was awarded an @uiowaicru Research Fellowship for the summer! This program allows current undergraduates to work on a specific project. She will be continuing work on looking at student’s reasoning of organic chemistry mechanisms!

[Becker Research Group @UIBeckergroup]

We are beyond ecstatic to announce Johnny (our amazing postdoc) will be joining UW-Milwaukee as an Assistant Professor of Chemistry this fall!!!

The impact Johnny has had on our group has been incredible - we TRULY don’t know where we would be without him! UWM is so lucky. 🥳

Whoever flipped our posters in the hallway, ya got us! 🤣…. although we WILL find out who did this and return the favor😈

Prioritizing rest today.

Despite what pre-tenure academia consistently requires of me, rest is not a luxury, it’s a NECESSITY.

[Josie @josiewelker]

Educators: stop saying problems are simple or should be easy! This discourages students who are lost from asking questions.

[Becker Research Group @UIBeckergroup]

Check out some great work from our Chem Ed colleagues at Iowa! 🖤💛

[Andrea Van Wyk @vanwyka18]

This was a fun collaboration! Very grateful I get to collaborate with people who are doing such amazing work to support student learning in the lab!

[Becker Research Group @UIBeckergroup]

Belated gift exchanges are the best gift exchanges — Happy New Year from our group to yours!🥳

#CER100 Day 83 I read this comprehensive study by @vanessachemedu @LeahJinhee Cara Schwarz @UIBeckergroup & Ryan Stowe: more nuanced measure of learning found differences in outcomes of different instructional practices/emphases/assessment https://t.co/Z83kdTXM8x

[Vanessa Rosa, Ph.D. @vanessarosaphd]

Our most recent paper has been published in JRST! Grateful to my collaborators @LeahJinhee Cara Schwarz @UIBeckergroup and Ryan Stown for this study unpacking the limitations of defining our classrooms solely on how we teach. https://t.co/JVnO8OHpF3

@ResearchCole @hannahnennig Congrats, Hannah!
