Getting involved in undergraduate research has been a way for #SFUChemistry student Robby Yoshiro Williams-Sekiguchi to explore his interests and level up the skills he needs to thrive in his classes.

"The thought of being able to obtain a molecular structure and identify what atoms are present in my product just by shooting x-rays is simply amazing," he says.

#SFUScience staff and faculty are heading to our annual holiday party this afternoon. In the meantime, please enjoy the view of this year's #SFUChemistry #chemistree created by SFU's academic glassblower Lucas Clarke. #SFU #chemistry
Research on a new treatment for a deadly #honeybee parasite is getting a boost thanks to an exclusive collaboration agreement between Simon Fraser University and Véto-pharma. The treatment, developed by #SFUChemistry professor Erika Plettner paralyzes #varroa mites, causing them to fall off of bees.

#SFUChemistry professor Vance Williams @vancew regularly shares the beauty of chemistry in his classes and online. Learn how his work as an artist is helping others see chemistry in a new light, and register for his upcoming Café Scientifique talk on Zoom, September 26: https://www.sfu.ca/sfunews/stories/2023/09/sfu-scientist-captures-the-beauty-of-chemistry.html #sfuscience #sfu #chemistry #sciart #scicomm #cafescientifique #scienceoutreach
SFU scientist captures the beauty of chemistry

Beyond the formulas and theories that can make chemistry daunting to many of us, SFU professor Vance Williams is attracting students and the general public by showcasing another side of chemistry—its beauty. Using images of stunning patterns created through his microscopic work with crystal and other materials, art is helping to make chemistry more accessible.

A multidisciplinary cross-Canada team co-lead by @ubcmedicine's François Bénard and #SFUChemistry professor Caterina Ramogida is developing radioactive isotopes for the precision treatment of late-stage cancers. https://www.sshrc-crsh.gc.ca/funding-financement/nfrf-fnfr/stories-histoires/2023/fight_cancer-lutter_contre_le_cancer-eng.aspx #sfu #sfuscience #chemistry #oncology #cancer
