Two chemistry graduate students in the C² program — Joenisse Rosado-Rosa and Catherine Jalomo — were recognized for outstanding mentorship of undergraduate students in the chemical sciences. Chemical Science + Community (C²) is comprised of chemistry and chemical engineering graduate and undergraduate students from underrepresented groups.
Chemistry professor Angad Mehta and graduate student researchers Jason Cournoyer and Sarah Altman conducted a study that recapitulates what scientists have long theorized — that evolution of complex life forms got its start when one cell engulfed another and the two learned to live in harmony.
