StElmo Brady's Postdoctoral Inclusive Excellence Symposium begins June 4

The StElmo Brady's Postdoctoral Inclusive Excellence Symposium begins June 4 with postdoctoral researcher Ivan A. Moreno-Hernandez from the University of California, Berkeley, and continues June 11 with Melanie R. McReynolds, a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Hanna H. Gray postdoctoral fellow and Burroughs Wellcome Fund Postdoctoral Enrichment Program awardee at Princeton University.

Moreno-Hernandez has been a postdoctoral fellow with Prof. A. Paul Alivisatos at the University of California, Berkeley, since 2019 and has worked on understanding and controlling the reactive chemical environment created during liquid cell electron microscopy experiments. Moreno-Hernandez will deliver a virtual presentation on Jun 4, 2021, at 1 p.m. Central Time. Register here.

Melanie R. McReynolds is a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Hanna H. Gray postdoctoral fellow and Burroughs Wellcome Fund Postdoctoral Enrichment Program awardee at Princeton University. Her research focuses on the intersection of metabolic decline and aging. McReynolds will present virtually on June 11, 2021, at 1 p.m. Central Time. Register here.

In recognizing the importance of sustainable diversity and inclusion and the competitive advantage it gives our Illinois Chemistry community, the department created the StElmo Brady Postdoctoral Inclusive Excellence seminar series in 2020. The initiative invites talented underrepresented postdocs of color currently conducting postdoctoral research at top chemistry programs across the country to present their research to the students and faculty at Illinois Chemistry.
