Congrats to Nicole and Niall on their insightful look into what was emphasized and rewarded on general chemistry exams given throughout the US!

After a great defense, Nicole now goes by Dr. Greco :). Congrats, Nicole!

Niall did a predictably awesome job on his Thesis Background Exam (TBE). Congrats, Niall!

Ryan joined an international team of colleagues to think about common myths related to teaching and learning in organic chemistry. The article is worth a read!

Ryan’s perspective on how we might advance chemistry learning useful beyond school was just published in JCE. Check it out!

Congrats to Nicole, Rosemary, and Ryan on their paper unpacking how they worked to design and carry out a theoretically coherent study of instructors’ epistemologies.
