Some pictures from our work in the lab.

Senior chemistry major Laura Schmitt removing an aliquot from her reaction for
TLC analysis.  Laura's performing an experiment here for determining how
reaction conditions can affect 1,2 vs. 1,4 addition to an a,b-unsaturated ketone.

Senior chemistry major Kevin Kosty performing a reaction in which he is alkylating methyl iodide using a
thermodynamic enolate.

Senior biochemistry major, Tom Carroll, preparing to remove dry tetrahydrofuran (THF) from the still.

Senior biology and physical therapy major (and chemistry minor!), Chad Aubin, preparing to distill
off solvent using the rotary evaporator.

Junior biochemistry major, Alicia Monroe, just hanging out (waiting for someone to come by and
get some quality tutoring).

Happily spending MANY LONG hours in the laboratory pushing back the boundaries of science.
