Shoutout to College of Science alumna, Caitlin Billiot, who recently defended her PhD in microbiology from the University of Alabama at Birmingham! 🦠 🧫 🎉 👏 She looked back on her time at LSU and the Science Residential College, reflecting on how it rooted her love for science and research. 🎓🥼 Head to our blog to read the Q&A with Caitlin: https://lnkd.in/g2pkAAF6

Student #spotlight ⭐ Meet Colby Barron, a senior majoring in Biological Sciences at LSU! Originally from Orlando, Florida, Colby has had a unique journey, attending two universities before finding his place at LSU while chasing an athletic career. Colby's passion for sports and science led him to work as an athletic trainer for LSU Football, and he recently completed a summer internship with the Baltimore Ravens' medical staff. During his internship, he gained invaluable hands-on experience, working alongside top athletes and learning about emergency action plans and advanced medical practices. "Take the initiative on things that interest you. Think about what you enjoy in your free time and find a way to turn that into a professional opportunity," Colby advises first-year students. For him, merging his love for football with a career in science has been a rewarding adventure. #geauxscience #lsu

Congratulations to Assistant Professor Matthew Chambers, LSU Department of Chemistry, on receiving a grant from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to develop energy-efficient chemical processes for the petrochemical industry! His research focuses on using affordable metals like cobalt to create essential chemicals while minimizing environmental impact. 🌍🔬 Chambers aims to enhance hydroformylation, a key reaction for producing fuels and plastics, by developing a new cobalt(II) catalyst that reduces energy consumption. With an $875,000 grant from the DOE’s Early Career Research Program, he is one of just 91 early career scientists nationwide to receive this honor. 🚀👩🔬👨🔬 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gK8Q6-_m #GeauxScience
