After a COVID-induced break, December 2022 marked the return to live presentations of the Faraday Chemistry Lectures in the Department, with more than 1,000 people crowding into the Henry Eyring Building, room 2008, over three nights. Of course, the lectures featured traditional candles, colors, reactions, bangs, and flames.
Making note of Michael Faraday’s contributions to physics as well as chemistry, Professors Janis Louie and Thomas Richmond welcomed three colleagues from the Department of Physics and Astronomy professors Zheng Zheng, Anil Seth, and Kyle Dawson, to share some of the chemistry of the Universe as revealed by recent advances in the field. Images from JSWT Webb Telescope and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey were included. These scientific interludes enhanced the scope of the lectures to cover over 13 billion years since the Big Bang.
