There are so many different avenues and applications of chemistry \u2013 the study of how biological molecules behave, the creation of new materials through organic and inorganic syntheses, the analysis of environmental samples and toxins, calculational methods to study how molecules will behave under stresses, and many more. But all of them have a basic foundation in the same types of experimental techniques,\u201d Whitson explained.<\/p>\n<p>Murphy\u2019s paid summer internship allowed her to explore and identify the chemical properties of two compounds.\u00a0 This research could lead to use in pharmaceutical drugs.\u00a0 Her research will be included in a report to be published in an upcoming scholarly journal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe experience gave me an opportunity to work more with organic chemistry, and helped me realize I want to pursue analytical chemistry in graduate work,\u201d Murphy explained.<\/p>\n<p>The internship took Murphy outside the laboratory walls.\u00a0 Murphy and her student colleagues enjoyed a Washington Nationals game, some sightseeing, and decided which famous cupcakes with sprinkles they liked best.<\/p>\n<p>This semester, Murphy will attend an all-expense paid weekend at MIT with \u201cworkshops, talks, tours and interaction created for select underrepresented minority undergraduates in the U.S.\u201d\u00a0 Murphy will meet professors and students working on research.\u00a0 She\u2019ll also learn how to approach the graduate school application process.\u00a0 And she\u2019ll have a chance to explore Boston and Cambridge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the many wonderful attributes of JasLynn\u2019s is her motivation to go and seek out opportunities that will help her succeed. What is great about working with her in research is the excitement she experiences when she gets a result. She carries a challenging class-load academically, while contributing to university community programs that help others in a meaningful way. Last year JasLynn served a mentor in the minority mentorship program, vice-president of the residence hall association, and as a teaching assistant in multiple chemistry lab classes,\u201d Whitson said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>JasLynn Murphy aspires to become a research chemist, perhaps with the National Institutes of Health or the Department of Defense or the Environmental Protection Agency.
