Congrats to Shane and Jackson! Shane is a junior in our biochemistry program and Jackson is a junior in our chemistry program! 🧪

Congrats to Kyle Bohlin and William Fauntleroy on their presentations at the ACS meeting in Indianapolis! They are presenting this afternoon at the Undergraduate Poster Session in the Indianapolis Convention Center!

Congratulations to our senior seminar students William Fauntleroy, Sarah Kaminski, and Kyle Bohlin on their presentations this past Saturday at the Chemistry Joint Senior Seminar held on campus in the Henry Science Center! The department hosted students and faculty from Wilkes University and Kings College Chemistry Departments.

Thank you to everyone for coming to our event! It was great to have our show back after 2 years! We appreciate everyone for their help and support! Happy Halloween!!! 🎃 💙 💛

The career exploration camp in Biology and Chemistry was a success! Thank you to all of our counselors and to the students who attended the camp! Dr. Serino and Dr. Fedor were thrilled to be a part of this interdisciplinary camp experience! 💙💛🧪🔬

Career Exploration Camps are back this summer!!! The Biology and Chemistry/Biochemistry departments at Misericordia invite participants to explore careers in the biological and chemical sciences. This experience will be a three day/two evening camp that will be available to students entering their senior year in high school. Students who are interested in learning about the careers that a degree in biology or chemistry can lead to are strongly encouraged to attend.

Happy Holidays from the department of chemistry and biochemistry! Thanks to everyone for helping put together our first “chemis-tree”! Good luck to everyone as we finish the semester! 🧪 🎄 🌲 💙 💛

Congratulations to all of our SURF students who presented their research last night at the annual poster session. The Summer Undergraduate Research Program provides a stipend and housing to students and is a 10 week research program. Students work with faculty mentors on these projects. This year, the science programs had six participants. Kyle Bohlin (chemistry), William Fauntleroy (chemistry), Tara Sweeney (biology), Sara Abdo (biology), Caitlyn Henry (biology), and Peyton Kimmel (biology). Thanks to all of the CHM 133 students for attending and supporting our students! 💙 💛 🧬 🧪

We always love to see our alumni back on campus! Abrielle Garber (biochemistry graduate!) was on campus today presenting to our students on behalf of the post graduate programs at Salus University! She is currently in her third year in the doctorate of optometry program at Salus! She did a fantastic presentation on how students can prepare now for professional school applications! 💙 💛

The department would like to congratulate Dr. Megan Mackintosh (Toda) a 2015 graduate of our chemistry program! She successfully defended this past week and will receive her PhD in computational chemistry from the University of Louisville! She has been accepted into a prestigious post-doctoral program at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem! Megan was in the first cohort of the university's Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) program and published two articles with Dr. Fedor based on this research experience! We are incredibly proud of her achievements! Congratulations Megan!
