Loras College Chemistry

Hey Folks, this is the final reminder we've moved off of Twitter/X. Follow us on Instagram @lorascollegechemistry and Facebook @ Loras College Chemistry Department. Thanks!

Hey Folks, it's been a good run, but we've decided to move away from Twitter/X. For all of that chemistry content you crave, follow us on Instagram @lorascollegechemistry and Facebook @ Loras College Chemistry Department. We'll make our last post here on October 1st. Thanks!

Thanks so much for hosting us! We had a great time!

Our students had a wonderful time learning and communicating with others about their work in Seattle and Indianapolis! Thanks @ASBMB @AmerChemSociety #DiscoverBMB #ACS2023

This week, our students are splitting the country in half by attending and presenting at @AmerChemSociety and @ASBMB meetings! #ACSSpring2023 #DiscoverBMB

Recently @lorascollege students in Quantitative Chem Lab examined how acid rain forms and deteriorates limestone structures, Fermentation students learn how microbes make pickles, and Adv Biochem students are crystallizing their protein after weeks of purification.

So much cool chemistry being learned this week @lorascollege! In Fermented, we pitted microbial chemicals against bacteria, learned how enzymes work in Quant, started protein production from quail eggs in Advanced Biochem, and learned chromatography in Chem of Art! #ScienceRules

Recently, @lorascollege, students learned about the scientific method by thumb wrestling and discovered how dirty surfaces can be in CHE103-Fermented. Students in CHE212-Quantitative Chem are discovering how chemical reactions can move forward AND backwards.

We are proud to announce that the @lorascollege Biochemistry program has received full accreditation from the @ASBMB! Student-driven research and access to instrumentation made our program stand out. Learn more at daily.loras.edu/loras-biochemi…

. @iowasnewsnow Loras College Chemistry @loraschemistry unveils new 100 MHz benchtop NMR spectrometer. The instrument, to be used by chemistry students to determine structures of molecules, was funded by alumni donations cbs2iowa.com/news/local/lor… #NMRnews #NMRchat #NMR @Nanalysis

It is time. Come punish a professor (pie in face:@kehrnal, safety shower:@ProfessorMoser) and have LN2 ice cream after! @lorascollege

Tuesday night, 6pm, outside Hoffman Hall, friends, food, yard games. Be there or be squaraine.

We're busy this week @lorascollege! From learning basic chemical safety and simple chemical reactions in Gen Chem, to evaluating biological buffer capacity in Biochem, and minimizing error in Analytical, we've got it going on!

We just did a big thing... we'll let you know in ~3 months. #GetHype

This week in General chemistry lab @lorascollege, we learned how to make proper measurements and the Biochemists learned about amino acids with sidewalk chalk! instagram.com/p/CiB-0BdOyFW/…

This week in Biochemistry lab, students like @aubrey.k.alvarez @emily_raketic and @luke_bolstad are putting their newly gained micro-pipetting skills to the test! instagram.com/p/Ch5XUJQuejy/…

Congratulations today to these amazing graduates! We know you will all do amazing things! @n_haskin @briarreg15 Sydney Kunkel @mad_brewster

Congratulations this week to Dr Adam Moser (@ProfessorMoser) for winning the Budde award for Teaching Excellence! Dr Moser's tireless work to improve student learning, make spaces for students to work and learn together, and mentor other faculty is remarkable! @lorascollege

Congratulations to the team from Solon High School for winning this year's @lorascollege Chemistry Olympics! We had a great turn out and really enjoyed getting to interact with so many budding Iowa chemists!

It finally happened in Fermented: Beer Brewing! Stayed tuned next week for taste testing the flavor differences in different yeasts.
