On Saturday, June 1st, graduate students, postdocs, and researchers from AirUCI labs will be providing lab tours and demonstrating some of our research as part of UCI's annual Chemistry Research Saturday.  This event allows chemistry majors and honors students in the organic lab series to visit prospective research labs, meet other undergraduates and grad students, and learn about various areas of research.  More information and the RSVP form are available at https://www.chem.uci.edu/researchsaturday.

This Friday, May 31st, AirUCI's AAAR Student Chapter is hosting a career panel for graduate students, post-docs and project scientists in atmospheric and environmental sciences who may want a career in academia. The meeting will be held from 11-12 in Rowland Hall 390 and special guests are Paul Nissenson, Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Cal Poly Pomona, and Steve Mang, Lecturer in Chemistry here at UCI, both of whom are AirUCI alumni.

The next session of the AirUCI internal seminars will be held on Thursday, May 30th from 12:30 - 1:30 PM in Rowland Hall room 390.  All graduate students, postdocs, or project scientists who are affiliated with AirUCI are welcome.  The talk will be by Veronique Perraud (Finlayson-Pitts research group) and by Rebecca Johnson (Kleinman research group), "What's in hookah smoke?".

On Tuesday, May 21, AirUCI faculty Alex Guenther will host Prof. Frank Keutsch of Harvard University as he presents an ESS seminar.  The talk is entitled "Solar geoengineering - taking the edge off climate change?" and will take place in Croul Hall room 3101 at 3:30.

The AAAR Student Chapter at UCI is presenting a career panel for Ph.D. students in atmospheric and environmental sciences who may want a career in government/public policy, to be held on Friday, May 17th from 11-12 in Rowland Hall 390. We will be hosting and talking with Maggie Walser of Gulf Research Program and Marc Carreras Sospedra, of South Coast AQMD, both of whom are AirUCI alumni.

On May 14th, 2019, AirUCI faculty Michael Prather will give a lecture entitled, "Chemical Reactivity of the Remote Atmosphere Derived from the NASA Atmospheric Tomography Mission (ATom)."  The talk begins at 3 pm in Croul Hall room 3101 and will give an overview of the ATom mission which has constructed the first photochemical climatology of the remote troposhere, compiled using data from several years of flight transects across the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans in specially equipped planes.  This talk will focus on the core set of species that control the primary photochemical reactivity of...

AirUCI faculty Celia Faiola will host a seminar by Harri Kokkola of the Finnish Meteorological Institute in Helsinki, Finland on Tuesday, May 14th from noon - 1 pm in Rowland Hall room 390.  The talk title is “Direct and indirect radiative effects of semivolatile aerosol compounds”.
 

AirUCI will be well represented at the annual ISKPPA meeting to be held May 10, 2019 at the University of California, Riverside.  Several of our research groups are attending and will be presenting talks and posters at the event.
