Gave a talk in the Hot Structures session today at #ACA2025 in Chicago!

Fun fact: the first conference talk I ever gave was in 2010 at my first ACA meeting, also in the Hot Structures session, also in Chicago!! (See bonus pic below of me attending ACA2010) ☺️

And if you see me at #ACA2025 say hi!

Fro the last few years, as part of a final assignment in my senior biophysical chem class I ask students to share a class-related memes, with ones they make themselves highly encouraged!
For everyone's enjoyment, here are some of my favorites!

✨ I’m overjoyed to share that I’ve been promoted to associate professor with tenure in chemistry at Vassar College!!

Honored to now join the 2% of Black women who are tenured faculty in the US. So grateful to my family & friends, my colleagues & mentors, & all my amazing students! ✨🧪
