Students Kathryn Humphries and Andrew Yeager traveled to the 15th Annual MERCURY Conference on Undergraduate Computational Chemistry July 21-23 at Bucknell University in Lewisburg, Pa. The students gave poster presentations of research conducted this summer at Truman. Humphries, a junior chemistry major, presented her research on the aggregation dynamics of asphaltenes, molecules known to clog oil pipelines. Yeager, a senior biology major, presented his research on the dynamics and specificity of DNA polymerase. Bill Miller III, assistant professor of chemistry at Truman, served as their research supervisor and accompanied them to the conference. Both Humphries and Yeager will be continuing their research projects during the upcoming academic year.
