MUN profs and students at Science Atlantic ChemCon. Thank you MSVU for a great conference
We are all just back from travels in the Maritime provinces of Canada. The Profs (Chris Kozak and Fran Kerton) attended Science Atlantic ChemCon hosted by Mount Saint Vincent University – along with Mike Katz, Chris Flinn and many of our undergraduates. Memorial will be hosting next year – so do consider paying us a visit. Jen Murphy and Tim Anderson took part in the Canadian Chemical Crystallography Workshop also held in Halifax.
Then the big event followed – the 99th CSC in Halifax. Chris, Fran, Jen, Hart and Kaijie gave talks in the green chemistry symposium organized by Chris Kozak and Rob Singer. Tim, Kaijie and Hart also presented posters during the conference. Above are two photos from this conference. Jen Murphy and Kaijie Ni won talk/journal prizes from Green Chemistry and Catalysis Science & Technology. On our last night, we headed to the Halifax Ale House to celebrate our #ChemFam with honorary group member Dr. Louise Dawe from Wilfrid Laurier University.
Thank you UNB for hosting an epic ChemCon this year! We had so much fun and made many new friends. Congratulations to all group members on their talks and posters, with an extra special congrats to Jen Murphy on her Best Graduate Oral Presentation Prize. We are already looking forward to ChemCon 2016 at MSVU next year. Dr. Kozak is ready to be auctioned off to join another quiz team in aid of fundraising for ChemCon 2017 at MUN.

Today, the group got together at the Profs’ house for an early thanksgiving meal – so our German visitors could participate before heading home!
Happy Thanksgiving
Thank you to the Walsh Family and particularly Andrew (SWASP 2013, Kerton Group) for these extra photos:

For students who were away (Yi, Dalal etc.) and new students – we’ll take a new photo in September 🙂

Kata (Kozak group) and Greg (Kerton group) had an awesome experience last week at the ACS Summer School on Green Chemistry and Sustainable energy in Golden, Colorado.
Here are a couple of photos:

Chris, Fran, Kata, Hua and Jenna attended the Atlantic Inorganic Discussion Weekend in Moncton from March 22-24. We all had a fantastic time and enjoyed 2 or 3 Plenary lectures (some of us missed Prof. Stephan’s talk because we were still en route from Toronto), 3 mixers, several coffee breaks and lots of student/postdoc talks and lectures (about 24 talks and 24 posters were presented). We also got to meet, network and socialize with chemists from Atlantic Canada and further afield. We are already looking forward to the next AIDW, which will probably be held in 2015 somewhere in the region.
