Welcome to our Lab, Andrea

We would like to welcome Andrea Sprague-Getsy, a first-year student in the Department of Chemistry, to our laboratory group. She joins us from SUNY Binghamton where she did her undergraduate work. We look forward to working with her over the next few years as she pursues her PhD degree.

Hougland Lab runs a 5K

The Lab ran a 5k together this past weekend. The Burn Run is hosted by the East Syracuse Fire Department and raises money for the Burn Foundation of Central New York. It was a beautiful, chilly Fall day in CNY and perfect for a run/walk. We look forward to doing another run together soon.
