The trip through Colorado weather was worth it! Thanks to the wonderful hosts in the Department of Chemistry at Colorado State University for inviting Jillian to present the Hach Lecture last week.

Jillian takes a pie to the face from Jasper. Don’t worry, it’s all for a good cause! Thanks to the Working for Inclusivity in Chemistry team for putting the event together.

During her visit to McMaster University last week Jillian had the chance to talk diversity with a group of graduate students. Thanks so much to the entire staff, faculty and student team for hosting!

Check out these tasty dishes from our group potluck last week!

Thank you to @JBuriak for her talk on the transition to a low-carbon world and to @covestro for their continued support of this public lecture series! pic.twitter.com/X4pDkVqlAR

Jillian and Erik recently returned from Saudi Arabia where the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) hosted the 2016 Conference: Emerging Concepts and Materials in Solar Energy Conversion from October 31st – November 2nd. The conference was a great space for sharing novel ideas and recent discoveries in the field, bringing together top researchers from different disciplines including chemistry, physics and materials science.

Buriak Group – past and present!

We had a big representation of Buriak Group members travel to Beijing, China for the ACS Symposium: Innovation in Molecular Science. Along with talks and posters from past and current group members, Jillian was one of the conference coordinators. But, as you can see from the photo – it wasn’t just all work and no play!
