  1. A new study, led by Yale chemists, offers an “extreme” close-up picture of Photosystem II, the enzyme in photosynthesis that uses water as a solar fuel.

  2. Sharon Hammes-Schiffer, a leader in the field of theoretical chemistry, has been appointed the Sterling Professor of Chemistry.

  3. Yale’s Mark Johnson was recognized by the American Chemical Society for outstanding work in developing new tools to document how chemical reactions occur.

  4. Outdoors, in the fire extinguisher training station, incoming graduate students hoisted red canisters of carbon dioxide to snuff out flames in a burn pan. Inside, in the pyrophoric reagents station, they witnessed a safe transfer of a highly flammable chemical from one flask to another via a Iuer-syringe and balloons. And at the gas cylinder station, they watched gas escape from a pressure vessel – a potential hazard for fires, explosions, poisoning, and cold or chemical burns.

  5. Incoming Yale Chemistry graduate students scouted the lay of the land in a full day of activities on Aug. 27, including an orientation game and virtual symposium.

  6. An influential contributor to the field of computational chemistry, Jorgensen has had four publications that have been cited more than 2,000 times.

  7. A prolific scientist and generous teacher and community contributor, Holland has supervised more than 100 undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral researchers.

  8. Kurt Zilm has been named the William K. Lanman, Jr. Professor of Chemistry, the appointment was effective Feb. 20.

  9. Yale chemist Hailiang Wang, whose lab creates small-molecule and nanomaterial catalysts, had a breakthrough stemming from an idea he received from a Yale alum.

  10. A new class of antiviral agents developed shows promise for creating COVID-19 therapeutics — particularly effective when used with the drug remdesivir.
