HOOS IN STEM: Inside UVA's Chemistry Department with Dr. Jill Venton
Chair of UVA's Department of Chemistry Jill Venton and mathematician, STEM advisor to the UVA provost and Hoos in STEM podcast host Ken Ono.
Episode 32 of UVA's HOOS IN STEM podcast dives into the heart of UVA’s chemistry department with Jill Venton, its chair and the Thomas Jefferson Professor of Chemistry. She talks about the fascinating study and synthesis of the molecular building blocks of our universe: from star formation to nanoparticles for clean energy applications and borrowing fluorescent molecules from fireflies to illuminate our own biological processes. With podcast host Ken Ono, UVA's Marvin Rosenblum Professor of Mathematics and STEM advisor to the provost, Venton also discusses her lab’s research on brain chemistry and the future of neurochemical treatments for disease.
