Hello everyone! A date has been set for our October monthly cohort meeting. We would love to see everyone there on the 16th at 6:30 pm in W323 CB!

Hire alert! We have an opening for a postdoc position in the Popov group at WSU to work on the computational modeling of transuranic complexes. The official ad coming soon. In the meantime, interested candidates feel free to send me your CV to [email protected].

Great job to Cameron (Cameron Flester), Sam (Samantha Kruse), Sarah (@sarahkscherrer), and Nicole on presenting their work at Midwest ACS these past few days!

Excited to share my latest research on Water Networks within Metal-Organic Nanotubes, exploring water confinement and pore wall interactions in nanospaces. I sincerely thank everyone who supported this endeavor. Read more here: …mistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ej… #Research #Science

Very proud of Cameron Flester (Cameron Flester) for delivering an amazing talk today for his 2nd year seminar over the evaluation of free radicals in U(VI) peroxides during thermal decomposition!

Had a great time today having the opportunity to listen to a fantastic and inspiring talk by Dave Clark!

That’s a wrap on Forbes group talks for the semester here at UIowa. We finished this afternoon with a fantastic talk by Samantha Kruse for her 3-month seminar over the effects of ionizing radiation on organic solid-state materials! Samantha Kruse (coadvised with MacGillivray Group)

CGSA is happy to welcome Prof. Andre Isaacs as our Department of Chemistry colloquium speaker today! Please join us at 3:30 pm in W151 PBB for his presentation.

Congratulations to Dr. Kruse on a successful defense! We wish you the best of luck at INL! #PhDone Samantha Kruse

Shout out to our undergrad, Asher Motes, for presenting “Solving without Solutions: A Mechanochemical Approach to Nuclear Fuel Recycling” at the Research in the Capitol poster session in Des Moines last week! UIOWA Undergraduate Research

Congratulations to Cameron Flester for passing his candidacy exam today!

Harindu Rajapaksha, one of our 4th year grad students, was featured in this month’s CLAS (College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at Iowa) newsletter. Check it out! link.uiowa.edu/l/5af57d8b-598…

Congratulations to Parker, Cameron, Sam, Maianh, and Ben who won awards at yesterday’s Chemistry Appreciation Night! We are proud of you!

Kicking off talks from the group at the 30th Rare Earth Research Conference is Tori with “Radiolysis on actinide coordination compounds: Impacts of free radical chemistry”!

Last night, Vidumini presented her poster “Impact of Free Radical Initiators on Uranyl Cations in Aqueous Conditions: Cascade Reactions Leading to U(VI) Peroxide Species”. Great job!

Argonne is proud to host the 30th Rare Earth Research Conference, June 15–19! Over 200 experts, 170+ presentations, and a week of collaboration on rare earth & f-element science. Learn more - anl.gov/rerc30 #RERC30

Rounding out Tuesday night for RERC for the Forbes group are some wonderful posters by Ecem, Nicole, and Cameron!

Second talk for the Forbes group at RERC was given by Grant on “Experimental Insights into Speciation and Reduction of Heptavalent Neptunium in Dynamic pH Environments”. Great job!

Starting off the last day of RERC is Emma with “Mechanochemical oxidation of uranium oxide phases”!

And last but not least for Forbes group RERC talks is Harindu with “Bonding and Reactivity of Isostructural Uranyl and Neptunyl Peroxide Phases: A Spectroscopic and Computational Study”. Great work!
