@CatholicUalumni When they brought in the smoke machine, it made me feel like a rockstar in the lab! This was so much fun! Who knew you could make lighting a Bunsen burner look so cool!

[Kathy Havanki, PhD @ChemWithDrH]

I am so honored to be a part of the #LightTheWayCatholicU campaign and for helping spread the great work being done in the @CatholicU_Chem! This was so much fun to film, and lighting a Bunsen Burner never looked so cool!

[CatholicU Alumni @CatholicUalumni]

@ChemWithDrH We still love watching you light the flame at the 0:43 mark. https://t.co/Q0q6cBS4Vf

Thanks for spreading the word about the great working happening at the Department of Chemistry!
