Brauner Book Award
Last night at the NESACS Education Awards Dinner held at Northeastern University, Jeff Garber received the 2008 Phyllis A. Brauner Memorial Book Award for best oral presentation by an undergraduate at the Northeast Student Chemistry Research Conference.
He chose to receive a copy of the latest edition of March's Advanced Organic Chemistry (in which the authors have graciously moved the references back to a footnote format).
Jeff will be doing an internship over the summer at AstraZeneca's R&D center in Waltham, MA.

Overdue Updates
Anna Greene gave a talk at the last ACS meeting in New Orleans and a poster at the recent Northeast Student Chemistry Research Conference (NSCRC) held at Tufts University. She will be spending the summer doing a research internship at Kodak with Doug Robello.
Jeff Garber presented a poster at the ACS meeting (with the help of an Undergraduate Grant-in-aid from the Northeastern Section of the ACS). He also gave a talk at the NSCRC and was awarded the 2008 Phyllis A. Brauner Memorial Book Award.
Roger O'Connor has joined the group and is working on putting together some conducting polymers.
Baby Thea is 13.5 months old and runs around like a maniac.
