during spring quarter. For the most part, the hallways of the Chemistry
Building are fairly empty. One exception lies in room 179. The “classroom” for tonight transcends the boundaries of the chemistry building and that of a “traditional” classroom.
Tonight, Chemistry 130B (Pharmaceutical Chemistry 2) is hosting an international event with guest lecturer and UC Davis alumnus Dr. Sundeep Dugar (Ph.D.,
Chemistry, ’84). The lecture is held in
