Learn about our work partnering with students to enact curricular change. Extra big thanks to Alberto, Ji, and all the Chemistry AntiRacism Action Committee (CARAC) students over the last three years

After hearing from students involved in the Amherst Uprising, chemistry professor Sheila Jaswal created the Being Human in STEM class. Now, the class promotes accessibility and inclusivity in STEM across campuses throughout the country. bit.ly/3BRcYbH

This week we cleaned out the glovebox, but couldn’t bare tossing these #FluorescenceFriday quantum dots. Samples are mostly from Amherst College alum Nejc Nagelj

After seven weeks of trying, Amherst College students Caleb and Frida succeeded in synthesizing these #FluorescenceFriday non-cadmium quantum dots. Guess the composition! Hint: not InP
