Chemistry Seminar

 

The Dwain L. Ford Lecture Series was introduced in 1971. Our ChemSem program always highlights a diversity of areas where chemistry, biochemistry and other parts of life intersect.  A diverse set of speakers, by many metrics of diversity, present to both specialized chemistry & biochemistry audiences as well as general audiences.  We hope you'll enjoy  viewing the videos we post here. And if you are in the area, you are welcome to join us for the weekly presentation from 4:30-5:30 p.m. on Thursdays.  Please e-mail the department at chemistry@andrews.edu for more information.  We are grateful to Dr. Desmond Murray for arranging the series of presentations.
