Thanks to our collaboration with groups in MS and AL on an NSF-funded grant for detection of pollutants in the Gulf of Mexico and Mississippi river basin, students in our group had the opportunity to participate in a sample collection cruise of the research vessel Point Sur today, operated by the University of Mississippi at their Gulfport, MS campus. Dr. Bonizzoni hosted a professional development workshop for UA students interested in becoming high school teachers. The workshop, titled Playing with our food, and sponsored by NSF through the Noyce program, focused on using concepts and experiments from modernist and avant-garde cuisine to integrate intermolecular interactions in the high school chemistry curriculum in a way that is fun and relevant to the students' everyday lives.
