We are delighted to welcome Lexi Evans from Murray State University and Dani Fellner from Bridgewater College over the Summer as a part of VT's REU program. Get ready to see experience some exciting research in peptides and polysaccharides from them soon!
Group lunch to help celebrate the end of the academic year! Students are off to REU programs, study abroad adventures, NSF-funded research here at Murray State, or combinations of the above!

Congrats to PhD #16, Dr. Abby Chinn! It was really a delight for us to have you over the years working on polysaccharides and we wish you all the best in future!!
Had a great visit to Virginia Tech this week! Thanks @jbmatson for the invite and the time. It's always fun to be in Hokieland learning about all the cool research! Thanks also to soon-to-be PhD Abby Chinn, former Murray St Racers researcher, for being my hiking guide!
Latest conductive cellulose work from Liz Hays (now at Vanderbilt) and Gracie Eicher (now at UK) is out now in ACS Applied Polymer Materials! Collaboration with Dr. Salas de la Cruz @RutgersCamden. @murraystateuniv #RacerFacultySuccess #NSF #PUI pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…
Running an undergraduate research group + chair of my department = mission impossible but challenge accepted
Thoroughly enjoyed my trip to the University of Alabama this week. Thanks to Drs. Jason Bara @ProfBara and Katie O'Harra @KatieOHarra for their hospitality!! Looking forward to continuing our collaborative work on ionenes and 3D printing!!
Latest publication from the Miller group is out! Making conductive polyurethanes without those nasty, toxic isocyanates! Congrats to Jordan and George on this project. Collaboration with Dr. Salas de la Cruz at Rutgers. #RacerFacultySuccess #PUI #NSF onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

I think the chemistry profession, including the ACS, needs to realize that a lot of great undergraduate teaching and research happens at schools that are NOT private institutions with mega endowments and students who are already in a position to succeed.
