Schlenk line protocols for using SmI2 and the impact of THF solvent
Appiah-Pipim, G.C , Yengbie, A.; Edmonson, P.E.; Yilmaz, B.; Rojas, G.; Tramontana, C.; Fall, K.; Choquette, K.A. Results in Chemistry, 2024, 10, 101697.
The Choquette lab has been working on this project for many years, and we are so excited to be able to highlight seven Drew Undergraduate students on this publication!

With student surveys from the 2020-2021 RSCU sessions we were able to publish on the findings of developing a community among summer PUI researchers; and how community impacts their identity and learning within a scientific community.
