Inaugural CP-WK Inorganic and Materials Allerton Conference!!

With amazing conference organizers (Saman Fatima!!!) and a fantastic line-up of speakers (Alyssa DeLucia!!!) the first annual Inorganic and Materials Allerton Conference was a huge success. 

Just don’t look behind you or step too far back. The turtles seemed happy but I would not like to go for a swim in there!!

Saman and the organizing committee worked ridiculously hard to put this all together. We are so thankful to them. We are also thankful to Changwoo Park and Walter Kemperer for making it possible!

Despite the off-kilter photo, Alyssa gave an awesome talk. She got everyone excited about carboxylate shift reaction dynamics!!

Jiaqi was a dedicated poster judge…

….and there were a lot of great posters!!

The group got to be goofy…

…argue about sports…

And bond as we strolled the beautiful Allerton grounds. Thank you CP-WK-IMAC! We are already looking forward to next year!
