The Whited Lab has been awarded a new ACS-PRF grant for $70k to advance a new project investigating reactivity of metal bonds with heavier tetrylenes. We are excited for the student research opportunities this grant will support and the hopefully cool new chemistry we will be reporting in the next couple of years. Stay tuned!

NSF Chemistry Workshop
Matt and co-PI Gordana Dukovic (University of Colorado – Boulder) organized the 2018 NSF-CHE Early Career Investigator workshop in Alexandria, VA. The workshop brought together 100 junior faculty from a broad range of institutions and sub-fields of research with established investigators and numerous NSF staff to discuss strategies for crafting research ideas, planning educational and outreach activities, and assessing and evaluating project aims. Materials generated at the workshop are shared at go.carleton.edu/nsf2018/materials. Thanks to our speakers and all of NSF for supporting this important effort!
NSF Early Career Workshop
Matt has received a grant from NSF ($70k) with co-PI Gordana Dukovic (CU-Boulder) to organize the 2018 NSF CHE Early Career Investigator Workshop in Alexandria, VA. Please pass along the word to early-career chemists who could benefit from a workshop on proposal preparation. Further details can be found at the workshop website.
