Anjeza Beharaj is a 2nd year PhD student studying organic chemistry
and working in the laboratory of Professor Mark Grinstaff. She is
currently investigating the mechanical and chemical properties of poly
glycerol carbonates. These polymers hold great interest in medicine
and drug delivery due to their non toxic degration products of
glycerol and carbon dioxide. |
Anjeza is partnered with Brittany Colford at St. Columbkille middle
school in Brighton. Being the only science teacher in the school,
Brittany teaches the sixth, seventh, and eigth grade classes.
Together, they will bring world of chemistry to these classrooms and
show the students how climate change is effecting the planet one
molecule at a time. |
