Who Am I? Wednesday – Wei Kong
Name: Wei Kong
Area of Study / Position Title: Professor in Physical Chemistry
Why chemistry? (What about it initially interested you?): Not much interest in chemistry initially, particularly O chem. Only wanted to do laser spectroscopy because of the mathematics involved.
Research focus (in non-science terms) or basic job duties? Develop a new technique to determine structures of macromolecules, and along the way, understanding fundamental properties of related physical processes.
One thing you truly love about your job? The freedom to imagine
One interesting/strange factoid about yourself. I do not like and cannot stand watching any games on baseball or golf.

May Nyman: Science Pub Talk
The Center for Sustainable Materials Chemistry (CSMC) and Calapooia Brewery would like to invite you all to: Not your granny’s magnets! Radioactivity! Things that glow! Cool Chemistry from the depths of the Periodic Table. A Science Pub Presentation by May Nyman, an associate professor of chemistry at Oregon State University.
Description:
Forgotten at the bottom of the Periodic Table are the f-elements with the f-electrons. Not ‘what-the-f’; just ‘f’. Come find out why f-electrons in f-elements are so useful for your hybrid cars, wind energy, high-efficiency LED lightbulbs, catching counterfeiters, and so much more.
Bio:
May is an associate professor of chemistry at Oregon State University; where she and her research group study all types of metal-oxo clusters in water. May has been in the Pacific Northwest only 2.5 years; a former desert rat, and is dealing with the rain and loving the beer just fine, thank you. In the high New Mexico desert, May worked at Sandia National Laboratories for 14.5 years; but she knows no government secrets, so don’t bother asking.
Where: Calapooia Brewery, 140 Hill St NE, Albany OR
When: April 8th, Trivia starts at 6:30 PM
Win a Prize!!! The CSMC will have prizes for the top five trivia competitors
