Recently, I had the pleasure of interviewing Sharon Loverde (professor of Chemistry at the City University of New York-College of Staten Island, faculty member of The Graduate Center, City University of New York Physics, Chemistry, and Biochemistry doctoral programs, mentor for NanoBioNYC at CUNY Graduate Center) about her cutting-edge research in computational chemistry and her journey as a woman scientist, for an article for the Association for Women in Science magazine, The Nucleus. The interview has now been published on the AWIS website (link below). Thank you, Dr. Loverde, for giving me the opportunity to interview you.

Congrats to Pooja Gaikwad for publishing one of your PhD papers and the rest of the team for this awesome work in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces. We detected the cytokine IL-6 at levels as low as 25 pg/mL in human serum following a systematic screen of surface passivation agents. https://lnkd.in/ejqqMkez
