Physical/Analytical Chemistry Seminars
aka: Physical/Analytical Chemistry Journal Club
(PACJC)
Twice each month, faculty
and students gather to discuss physical chemistry. Recent publications
are selected to guide discussion on the physical principles behind the
work and the methods
employed. The seminar was first held in the spring of 2005. For more
information contact Ashleigh Baber or Erin Iski.
Visitors
Are Welcome
Held on alternating Fridays
from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm in Pearson 104.
