Ayres group recognition in Department Awards

Ayres group members did well in this year’s Departmental Awards. Tucker won’t the Dover Publishing Award for communication skills in Organic Chemistry, Emily won the Milton Orchin Award for an outstanding graduate student in organic chemistry and the Hillstrom Travel Award to present research at a conference, and the whole group was recognized for their commitment to safety in the lab. I’m really proud of everyone for that one. Finally, Soren was recognized with the prestigious Michelman research fellowship. Great job!
