AUGUST 2005 Scientists Describe New Way to Peer Inside Bacteria X-rays yield pictures and chemical clues that may help trace contaminants, thwart terrorists Brookhaven National Laboratory Press Release "UPTON, NY -- As part of the search for better ways to track and clean up soil contaminants, scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory and Stony Brook University have developed a new way to "image" the internal chemistry of bacteria. The technique will allow scientists to "see" at the molecular level how soil-dwelling microbes interact with various pollutants. The method might also help scientists better understand and prevent bacterial diseases, or find ways to detect or disable bacteria used in a terror attack. .... | |||||

MARCH 2005 Decomposition of RNA in the presence of synthetic Ni-pyrites See link for the power point presentation. Maria "Terry" Minjares, a CEMS 2004 Summer REU student presented her summer research at the American Chemical Society National Meeting in March 2005. Terry is from Our Lady of the Lake University located in El Paso, TX. Terry worked in Prof. Martin Schoonen's geochemistry lab with mentor graduate students Marc Michel and Corey Cohn. Terry was one of nine CEMS summer REU students during the summer of 2004. For more information on the CEMS summer program, please see the Education and Outreach Page. |

SPRING 2005 Dev Chidambaram-2005 Morris Cohen Award June 17 Brookhaven Bulletin PowerPoint Dev selected to attend the Nobel Laureates meeting in Germany Dev Chidambaram, a former student of Prof. Gary Halada, was notified by the Corrosion Division of the Electrochemical Society that he had been selected as the 2005 Morris Cohen Award winner! The award was established in 1991 to "recognize outstanding graduate research in the field of corrosion science and/or engineering." His work certainly merits the recognition. Congratulations! Dev is now a post doc at Brookhaven National Laboratory under A.J. Francis in the Environmental Sciences Department. |
