“I am a professor at a college, I teach chemistry…I am doing research, we are doing mainly polymers. Those polymers can have connecting properties so that’s what we are looking at…We are making long chain polymers…because polymers are everywhere, we need polymers… To discover something new is always very exciting. I think that chemistry is everywhere. It is a basic science, a fundamental science. Whatever you want to do, you want to be an engineer? You need chemistry. You want to be a medical doctor? You need chemistry. It’s very exciting.”- Hememt Sharma  Read More

Meet Hallie! This freshman chemistry student is originally from Illinois, but was raised most of her life in Parker Colorado. Her favorite activities include snowboarding and hiking. She loves that she is close to the mountains, and the “crazy” weather Colorado has. The quick changing climate “keeps things exciting” Hallie remarked. In her free time, Hallie loves star gazing through her own telescope. “The Cygnus constellation is my favorite. It’s one of the easiest to find, plus its a swan.” Thanks for sharing Hallie!  Read More
