Come join us for an academic seminar of Professor Thomas Meade! Prof. Meade is the Eileeen M. Foell Professor of Cancer Research and The Charles Deering McCormick Professor of Teaching Excellence. He is also a Professor of Molecular Biosciences, Neurobiology and Radiology at Northwestern University. His research stems from looking at coordination chemistry and its applications to bioinorganic problems. The problems he addresses include biological molecular imaging, electron transfer processes, the inhibition of Zn finger transcription factors and the development of electronic biosensors for the detection of DNA and proteins. Please come to learn more about the modern developments in this fascinating field of chemistry!

Is this FIFA frenzie crazy or what? Do you want to compete instead of just watching matches? Well say no more, participate in the CSU FIFA Bracket challenge for the chances to have fun, compete and let loose a bit. Also compete for the chance to win PRIZES. The bracket challenge allows you to make predictions for how the tournament will go once the round of 16 participants have been decided. You will be afforded the chance to decide how you think the tournament will go. For every correct predicted outcome you will receive points. This will be held on ESPN (link located at the end). An ESPN account will need to be created (please do so with your school email). You will be able to create and enter a bracket at December 2nd 2pm, but have to enter your bracket by December 3rd 9am, 2022. Have fun and good luck!
