In addition, chemistry students and faculty speak at weekly research seminars covering the fields of organic, physical, inorganic, and biological chemistry. At these seminars, generally held in the evening, a faculty member or a student presents a paper covering his or her research or a recent publication of wide interest. Graduate students have the opportunity to present a paper each year. On occasion, an invited guest will speak. Majors are strongly encouraged to attend these seminars and, with permission of instructor, may obtain academic credit (CHEM 521/522).
