We are proud of our undergraduate research associates. Over last seven years of existence of the group, we have worked with six US undergraduates and hosted seven international undergraduate students. Sadly we don't have photos of all those who we've had the pleasure of working with. All the undergraduate researchers that worked with us are now in various graduate programs across the country pursuing higher degrees in chemistry. The obvious exceptions are the students who are still in college. We pride ourselves in being able to devote individual attention to the students who work with us, and actively help them to achieve their career objectives. The fact that so far 100% of our former undergraduate research associates are in graduate schools suggest that we were both lucky working with smart and hard working young people, and also that we were successful in inspiring them to pursue advanced education in chemistry-related fields. |

| Early days in the Group were confused (...ah the good days). First, we could not decide whether to make a research or a musical group. Then, we made the decision that turned out to be the wrong one.... | |
Dr. Radek Pohl Radek and Bob were the first postdocs in the group. Radek, genius of organic synthesis and the first person in the group who actually could read NMR spectra, has left the group for greener pastures in May 2003. While he plays many instruments, he likes the NMR best. |
|
| Dr. Bob Ganja Marley OM
Most of you don't know it but Bob Marley was our first postdoc in the group. Needless to say, he did not work out. While he was OK guitar player, as a chemist he understood the word "testing" as "tasting" and we had to fire him. |
