Title of my presentation Janet Schmanet’s lab By Sally Friendly UCORE 2010
Big Picture (for Grandma) Lab Mentor’s research goal Background: What is already known? How? Some background data / diagrams / images My job… (goal for the summer) My process (for Grandma) Pictures of me doing that… (action shots!) My findings Plots of my data! Images, with scale! Conclusions and future directions What I have learned, skills I have gained Acknowledgements Presentation Outline
Big Picture • Described in a way that will make sense to Grandma • Why does anyone care about this? • How will this maybe be useful? • What’s cool about this?
My lab mentor’s goal One part of the big picture What my mentor is trying to find out Why How Mensinger, Z. L.; Gatlin, J. T.; Meyers, S. T.; Zakharov, L.N.; Keszler, D. A.; Johnson, D. W. Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2008, 47, 9484.
Background What is already known How it was found out Why we need to find out more now Some data and/or diagrams
My job My goal for the summer was to… Thing A Thing B Because that would further my mentor’s research in this useful way… Ga(NO3)3 + MeOH Mensinger, Z. L.; Kamunde-Devonish, M. K. ; Gatlin, J. T.; Zakharov, L. N.; Johnson, D. W. in preparation Mensinger, Z. L.; Gatlin, J. T.; Meyers, S. T.; Zakharov, L.N.; Keszler, D. A.; Johnson, D. W. Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2008, 47, 9484.
My process • So that Grandma understands it a bit • Spell things out -- don’t just say ‘XRD’ (Grandma doesn’t know what that is) • Hey wouldn’t it be cool to have a picture of me in my lab right here! (Instead of this anonymous molecule!) • Challenges I ran into… Mensinger, Z. L.; Kamunde-Devonish, M. K. ; Gatlin, J. T.; Zakharov, L. N.; Johnson, D. W. in preparation Gatlin, J. T.; Mensinger, Z. L.; Zakharov, L. N.; MacInnes, D.; Johnson, D. W. Inorg. Chem. 2007, 47, 1267.
Findings • What happened • What we think it means • Data (graphs with axes clearly labeled)
Conclusions and future directions What will happen next with the work I started How and why What do we expect / hope to find out MeOH + Ga(NO3)3
Future Interests Synthesize clusters incorporating Cu & Zn Continue studies on Al Rationalize ideal conditions for production of Al-In library Understand the process between solution precursor and M-O deposition Analyze species in solution
