Call For Papers: Undergraduate Research as the Stimulus for Scientific Progress in the USA

Dear colleagues,

I have the privilege of being a guest editor on a Special Issue through ACS Omega. Specifically, this call is to spotlight research at PUIs. ACS is also very interested in showcasing the chemical education research that is being conducted as well. If you engage with undergraduate researchers at a PUI or know of anyone who does, please send this information along their way! 

Sincerely,

Matt
