ECU is pleased to have two Emerging Scholars in Chemistry Education on campus this week. They both gave excellent talks this morning. Lyniesha Ward, UNCG Maia Popova, PhD, and Jennifer Garcia, Purdue Towns Research Group NC CER ECU A&S Research

It was a pleasure to host Dr. David Wren WFU Chemistry! Thank you for making the trip David! My favorite take aways from your seminar-who makes what grade matters and use CER to inform solutions. NC CER ECU A&S Research

Office hours in the library are a hit. I had 6 students come by and spend 45 minutes going over the learning outcomes for last week.

Always a delight to meet with NC CER! Great conversations every month.

Notes on GC1 CLUE and using specs grading. The questions that the CLUE curriculum generates are incredible. The motivation to "learn" from Specs Grading...no words. Multiple students have said, "it is so exciting that you want us to learn chemistry!" 🤯CooperGroupCER Dr. Dawn Del Carlo

This is a great example of collaboration between Research scientists, CER, and Undergraduate research. ECU A&S Research ECU Engr&Technology NC CER

This community is always the highlight of my week. Great conversations. Can't wait for our in-person meeting! ECU A&S Research

Had to share this quote: “The aim of teaching is simple: It is to make student learning possible” (Ramsden, 1992, p. 5). NC CER

I am so proud of the community we have built. 8 Universities, 2 community colleges & 2 high schools! Sharing research and supporting innovation. ECU A&S Research

Paper #3 on the U.S. National Science Foundation ChemCUREs project, Spring 2018 we launched the first Organic II CURE, 5 years later we have two research tracks of OChem I and II CUREs, a Biological Chemistry CURE, and an Analytical CURE. Now ECUTeamsUR 25+ CUREs in Bio, Chem, Geol, EnvEng! ECU A&S Research

On the plane for Portland. #GRCCER23 is happening! 4 years in the making…#lobstah😂

Thank you Maia Popova, PhD! ECU A&S Research ECUTeamsUR

Made the airport run to Portland to retrieve Dawn Del Carlo and Maria Oliver-Hoya. I was rewarded with a lobster roll lunch. 😋 #lobstah #GRC2023

Congratulations to Clark I. Andersen on his Advancement to Doctoral Candidacy! His research proposal is excellent and he passed the qualifying exam questions and defense with high praise. Super proud of his progress and can't wait to what he does with SNA and SciTS! ECU A&S Research

I am excited to present our work! Clark I. Andersen NC CER

It was exciting to present at the ORGN Symposium on CUREs. Fantastic talks on using CUREs to promote green chemistry, Tiny Earth, and so much more! I look forward to following all the speakers' work. ECU A&S Research NC CER

This group is always the bright spot in a crazy week. These fall schedule Is kicking off with AI, LAs, and a presentation from the high schools.
