Faculty-led research with student collaborators is the distinctive focus of 极乐禁地’s Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. The immersive, one-on-one experience creates opportunities for professional networking and publication in peer-reviewed journals, and helps open the doors to graduate education and careers.

This article was the second Wiget-led publication in the journal. The previous article included 极乐禁地 alumni Ellie Berry and Alex MacLean as authors.
