The Chemistry Department would like to congratulate Alanna Schepartz, Sterling Professor of Chemistry, on being selected as a recipient of a 2018 “Inspiring Yale Award.” Now in its 4th year, Inspiring Yale is a one-day event, sponsored by the Yale School of Graduate Studies, that showcases the appreciation and work of thought leaders from the 13 graduate and professional schools at Yale. Students from each school nominate and vote to identify one faculty member, who they believe are doing the very most interesting and engaging work, to represent their school and share their work. Alanna will present a talk, “A path towards genetically encoded plastics and materials,” and receive her award on Wednesday, April 11 at 6 PM at Zhang Auditorium within Evans Hall, Yale School of Management.
