Wang Research Published in Science

 Lin Wang, an alumnus of the ETOX Program is currently a professor at Fudan University in Shanghai, China.  He did his dissertation research with Roger Atkinson and Janet Arey.  He is the corresponding author on a nice paper published in Science that describes the influence of sulfuric acid and amine precursor molecules on the formation of new particulates in Shanghai.  The article itself can be found here.  Our congratulations to Lin for this admirable recognition of his research. 

Another Alumnae photo


This spring CNAS Dean Kathryn Uhrich traveled to the Bay area and met with UC Riverside alumni working at Genentech.  Two of our alumnae, Yehong Wang and Jennifer Sasaki who work as scientists for Genentech, met for the first time at the gathering.  Below is a photo that they sent to me of their meeting.  It was great to see the two of them and hear that they are doing well.
