Use chemistry, microbiology, engineering, and other sciences to study the principles underlying the processing and deterioration of foods; analyze food content to determine levels of vitamins, fat, sugar, and protein; discover new food sources; research ways to make processed foods safe, palatable, and healthful; and apply food science knowledge to determine best ways to process, package, preserve, store, and distribute food.
Study human society and social behavior by examining the groups and social institutions that people form, as well as various social, religious, political, and business organizations. May study the behavior and interaction of groups, trace their origin and growth, and analyze the influence of group activities on individual members.
Study the origin, development, and behavior of human beings. May study the way of life, language, or physical characteristics of people in various parts of the world. May engage in systematic recovery and examination of material evidence, such as tools or pottery remaining from past human cultures, in order to determine the history, customs, and living habits of earlier civilizations.
The National Organic Chemistry Symposium is the premier event sponsored by the ACS, Division of Organic Chemistry. The idea is to highlight recent advances in organic chemistry with a schedule that provides for open discussion of the science of organic chemistry. The NOS history is documented here to the best of our abilities.

Graduate students who work in my lab will receive an interdisciplinary training in inorganic chemistry (i.e. organometallic ligand and catalyst development, solid state chemistry), physical chemistry (i.e. nanosecond charge transfer and surface chemistry) and material science (i.e. surface characterization and material chemistry). State-of-the-art analytical techniques such as NMR spectroscopy, IR, fluorimetry, and ICP-MS will be used to shine light on the reaction mechanism. SEM, TEM and XPS will help us to monitor the morphology change for the material interface. In addition, the interactive nature of our research would provide us various collaborative opportunities between departments, schools and national labs, resulting in excellent learning opportunities for the graduate students. We always welcome graduate students and postdocs who are talented, determined and responsible to join our lab and together we will work towards finding alternative solutions to solve our energy crisis and environmental issues.
At the front end, this process will require increased application of learning theories and consideration of the supporting research literature, but it is likely to result in many highly testable hypotheses and a more focused and informative approach to CURE assessment overall. For example, if we can define pathways from activities to outcomes, instructors will be better able to select activities to include or emphasize during CURE instruction and decide which short-term outcomes to assess. Education researchers and evaluators will be better able to hypothesize which aspects of CURE instruction are most critical for desired student outcomes and the most salient to study.
It is important to recognize that, given the limited time frame and scope of any single CURE, students will not participate in all possible activities or achieve all possible outcomes depicted in the model. Rather, CURE instructors or evaluators could define a particular path and use it as a guide for designing program evaluations and assessing student outcomes. Figure 2 presents an example of how to do this with a focus on a subset of CURE activities and outcomes. It is a simplified pathway model based on findings from the research on undergraduate research internships and CUREs summarized above. Boxes in this model are potentially measurable waypoints, or steps, on a path that connects student participation in three CURE activities with the short-term outcomes students may realize during the CURE, medium-term outcomes they may realize at the end of or after the CURE, and potential long-term outcomes. Although each pathway is supported by evidence or hypotheses from the study of CUREs and research internships, these are not the only means to achieve long-term outcomes, and they do not often act alone. Rather, the model is intended to illustrate that certain short- and medium-term outcomes are likely to have a positive effect on linked long-term outcomes. See Urban and Trochim (2009) for a more detailed discussion of this approach. 2ff7e9595c
