Congrats to Lillie Durow, who finished her Master of Science in Chemistry! Lillie hopes to share her love of chemistry by teaching at Kirkwood Community College.

Congrats to Avery Stricker, who won the Department of Chemistry Poster Award for her presentation at the Spring Undergraduate Research Festival.

Understanding the nature and purpose of models, including mathematical models, is critical to enabling undergraduate chemistry students to use models to predict and explain phenomena. However, students often do not have systematic conceptions about different kinds of models.
