Well it turned out to be a great day for a picnic on Saturday and we had a great showing of students, faculty, staff, and families at the end of summer picnic. A big thanks to everyone that helped bringing food and games and to all those that helped by setting up, grilling, or cleaning up.

Happy #FDOC from your friends in the chemistry department. We are excited to welcome all the new and returning faces to campus. Stay tuned for the many activities we have planned for the first few weeks of classes, and possibly a surprise or two as well.

Every year the department gives out the George R. Pack award to the student with the best dissertation in the last year. Last year Dr. Sashil Chapagain won the award. This is the sort of thing you'd be supporting with a donation to the Raise Some L campaign. www.givecampus.com/campaigns/62...

Chemistry Fact Friday: Moonshiners often prefer copper stills because copper reacts with sulfur compounds that produce a rotten odor and help smooth the spirit. What chemistry facts should we consider doing next?

Congratulations to Professor Buchanan on celebrating 50 years as a member of the @acs.org In that time new elements were made, lithium ion batteries started powering the world, and OLEDs were developed for your screens. Join us in the chemistry department to be a part of the next 50 years.

Chem Fact Friday: Charred oak barrels add flavor as lignin breaks down and seasonal cycles push whiskey in and out of wood. This releases vanillin and other flavoring agents that make whiskey what it is. Chem in every sip. 🥃 What local chem should we discover next? #chemfacts #ChemistryinKentucky

Meet Mabel, she's a cuddly one that is a bit awkward and a little anxious (me too Mabel). Mabel is the pet of one of our Chem 201 students this semester and is hopefully helping him out with homework.
