Very proud of Suvenika Perera for leading this outstanding work! Also pleased that we were able to dedicate this work to the memory of former colleague Bruce Jarvis. UMD Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry

Check out this #ReadingList with selections from our faculty members (Myles Poulin and Ross Salawitch)!


The building blocks of life on Earth didn't emerge from nothing. Carbenes are class of molecule that was an important precursor. With AdvancedLightSource, Univ. of Maryland chemists found a way to make carbenes that allows scientists to study them in more detail: cmns.umd.edu/news-events/ne…


Over 730 #ScienceTerps gathered yesterday for our 2024 CMNS New Student Welcome and TerrapinSTRONG Kickoff! Students participated in discussions on current issues and challenges around identity and #DEIInSTEM. go.umd.edu/cmnsdei


UMD Winter - Ghana Study abroad course This 12-day course from UMD Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry will explore an interdisciplinary approach towards understanding the highly topical areas of energy, sustainability, climate change, and environmental stewardship. go.umd.edu/ghana-CHEM


Congratulations to Sanjana Maheshwari for passing her UMD Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry literature seminar!


Thanks to the hundreds of #ScienceTerps who joined us Friday for our annual Ice Cream Social 🍨 The winning name for this year's space-themed Maryland Dairy 🍦 flavor was InTERPstellar, which UMD Department of Computer Science major Maggie McAndrew submitted!


Our new #ScienceTerps comprise 26% of Univ. of Maryland's first-year class! See more about the breakdown of CMNS majors, their states and countries of origin and special programs represented on our freshman fact sheet: go.umd.edu/1t7s
