At all academic institutions, particularly PUIs, many responsibilities compete for our time and attention. Teaching, research, and service are integral overlapping components of our professional portfolio _and_ we all have rich lives beyond the institution…

Are you just getting started in research? Pursing a new area of research? Need a little bit of money to get some preliminary data? Trying to find summer salary for one (more) student? Looking for ways to stretch and leverage start-up funds? Interested in establishing a track record to become more c…

This project focuses on the fundamental interactions of water with osmolytes in confined environments because structure and dynamics are impacted by both confinement and interaction with osymolytes. We use reverse micelles (RMs) to create nanoscopic polar pools…

Compelling evidence exists to support the hypothesis that both formal and informal mentoring practices that provide access to information and resources are effective in promoting career advancement, especially for women…

Investigating osmolytes in reverse micelle systems that replicate biological nanoconfinement helps us better understand the role these molecules play in biological systems…

Following the individual oral talks of this session, a panel discussion will occur featuring the symposium authors. Here is a chance for the audience to engage with the speakers to interact and clarify any questions they may have…

Osmolytes are water soluble substances that are known to regulate osmotic pressure, especially in biologically relevant systems. As such, they are often found in confining environments…

Reverse micelles encapsulate a polar phase at the nanoscale. With water as the polar phase, the nanoconfined water pool interactions and water-interface interactions mimic biological nanoconfinement…

We explored interactions between water and osmolytes urea and acetamide in reverse micelles (RMs) formed with sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate (AOT) in isooctane. Reverse micelles were formed with pure water, _0.25 M_ to _16 M_ urea, and _0.25 M_ to _16 M_ acetamide as the polar phase…
