Studying small molecules has been worth big dollars for Dr. Alexander Tarnovsky this year. The BGSU chemist, who likens his research to making “a molecular movie,” has received two grants from the National Science Foundation (NSF) totaling more than $1.1 million.

A Faculty Early Career Development, or CAREER, award has netted Tarnovsky about $689,000 over five years. CAREER grants go to teacher-scholars who are likely to become academic leaders. Tarnovsky was also awarded $482,000 by the NSF for a new laser system and other instrumentation for the Ohio Laboratory for Kinetic Spectrometry at BGSU.
