The Martin Lab

Dave regularly organizes an Undergraduate Research Panel Discussions where students in chemistry and other fields can learn about getting into research. Current undergraduate researchers talk about why they chose to get into research, how they found and landed a position in a research lab on campus and provide information and advice to attendees. Dave also highlights some of the resources available to students to fund undergraduate research (summer programs, scholarships and mini-grants) and opportunities to present their work on campus.

The next Panel Discussion will take place on November 2nd, 2021 and feature students who are currently or have recently done research in organic synthesis, nanoparticles, spectroscopy and other areas. Please join us to hear about their journey finding and joining a research group, and what performing research has added to their undergraduate experience.

Time: 5:30-6:20pm Tuesday, November 2nd
Location: IATL 104 (the shiny silver building next to IMU)
Who: Anyone interested in doing chemistry research at UIowa

See you there!
Prof. Dave Martin
