Summer 2017: Photos from a summer of research

This first summer, for me, was a much more hectic time than I expected. Training new people in the daily grind of a chemistry lab along with describing some of the finer points of the science made for some exhausting days. But I wouldn’t have traded for the world! Everyone pitched in, took initiative, and stayed safe! Enjoy these photos from the summer.
