The accolades for our CBC faculty and students went through the roof this month!   Congratulations go to Jon Njardarson for being honored with the UA Distinguished Scholars Award, Bonner Denton who received the ACS Award for Distinguished Service in the Advancement of Analytical Chemistry, and Zhiping Zheng who was admitted as a Fellow of The Royal Society of Chemistry. Not to be outdone, two of our CBC student organizations got big shouts from ASUA as the 2016 Student Organization of the Year (the Biochemistry Club), and as the 2016 New Student Organization Award (PAWS). Enjoy!

Best,
Professor and Head
