Former UC Irvine postdoc and current NASA Astronaut Tracy Dyson visited campus yesterday to share her experiences on her latest mission to the #internationalspacestation. While in space, she logged hundreds of hours conducting scientific experiments, including 3-D printing heart

Great to meet former UC Irvine postdoc and current NASA Astronaut Tracy Dyson yesterday and hear about her experiences on her latest mission to the #internationalspacestation. lnkd.in/guVq9w9E

UC Irvine School of Physical Sciences James Bullock UC Irvine NASA Team Airuci thoroughly enjoyed the presentation by NASA astronaut Tracy Dyson, former undergrad with TotallyLoveChem Cal State Fullerton and former UCI Chemistry postdoc in the Finlayson-Pitts & Hemminger labs. What a treat! Left us w/ inspiring thoughts & great memories!

We are delighted to announce Grant Lai as UC Irvine first Churchill Scholar! Grant is currently an undergraduate with a double major in UCI Chemistry and UCI Charlie Dunlop School of Biological Sciences. As part of the UC Irvine Nowick Lab, Grant’s research focuses on antibiotic development to treat

This #ThrowbackThursday transports us back to 1991, with F. Sherwood Rowland overseeing lab work alongside students Rama Iyer, Nun-Yi Wang, Donald Blake (who went on to become a @ucirvine chemistry professor), and Nicola Blake, from left to right. @ucichemistry #chemistry #tbt

Huge congratulations to DIANA LOPEZ, fourth-year Ph.D. student in UCI Chemistry studying nanoscale materials in the lab of Professor Maxx Arguilla ps.uci.edu/news/3283

Had thrill to attend Armenia & CA Science+Tech conference hosted by USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts & Sciences Institute of Armenian Studies + Armenian Society of Fellows, w/ world-leaders in AI, microbiology, & astrophysics. Got in the pic, next to UCI Chemistry prof. Are Apkarian! asbarez.com/armenian-ameri…

Distinguished Professor Kieron Burke co-authored one of the most-cited papers of all time! Nature ranked his 1996 work, which introduced a method for calculating #electron interactions in materials, as the 4th most-cited paper. Burke attributes this to increased global investment

How does vehicle braking impact public health? UC Irvine researchers are studying pollution from vehicle brakes and tires. By 2035, non-exhaust emissions could be the primary source of road pollution. UCI Chemistry ps.uci.edu/news/3290 Key findings: • Pollution from brake

At UC Irvine, Professor Jenny Yang is revolutionizing carbon capture. Her research team is pioneering a system that integrates with HVAC units to effectively extract CO₂ from the atmosphere, thereby reducing emissions and lowering energy expenses. ps.uci.edu/news/3295 This

Last week, UC Irvine chemistry Professor Sarah Finkeldei Sarah Finkeldei, with the generous support of the Nicholas Endowment, organized events aimed at igniting curiosity and motivating future scientists. Local high schoolers explored the #chemistry lab and toured UCI's nuclear

Great article on research by UCI Chemistry Prof Jenn Prescher and UCI School of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences Prof. Andrej Lupták - tagging RNA with a glowing bioluminescent molecule that allows them to track it in real time as it moves throughout the body latimes.com/b2b/health-lif…

New research from Professor Manabu Shiraiwa shows that lotions and perfumes can suppress the "human oxidation field"—a natural process that impacts indoor air quality. Using advanced chemical modeling, scientists reveal how these everyday products affect the air we breathe

Professor Barbara Finlayson-Pitts @ucichemistry wins the 2025 L’Oréal–UNESCO For Women in Science International Award. The award, given to just five women annually, recognizes Finlayson-Pitts' pioneering contributions to environmental science and atmospheric #chemistry. Read
