Chemistry and Biochemistry News

In last Sunday’s Education section of the Baltimore Sun, Chemistry alum Andrew McGregor (BS’15/MSFS’16) was pictured at the first Mustang Mentors event. This is a new initiative that connects students to Stevenson Alumni and community partners to provide networking opportunities and career advice. Andrew is an engineer and technical director with the Department of Defense and is a great mentor for students looking to pursue the forensic science masters degree at Stevenson.

Alumnae and adjunct instructor Carli Castiglia Allison (BS’15/MS’16) and her husband, applied math alum Josh Allison (BS’15) welcomed their son Roman Lee on February 18, 2020. Little Roman weighed in at 6 lbs 15 oz and was 19.5 inches long. Congratulations to the whole family!

Chemistry faculty member Dr. Sara Narayan has written a book chapter, to appear in the pending release of Green Chemistry in Government and Industry, Volume 5. The chapter is titled “Sustainability and some green initiatives in undergraduate education.” Dr. Narayan has been working on green approaches to science in her own research for some time, including microwave assisted synthesis and molecular modeling experiments.
