Teaching
• Quant. – thematic, glucose oxidase kinetics• Separations: Resurrected, strengthened• Advanced Analytical Chemistry – leveling the
playing field• Advanced Analytical Laboratory – something
beats nothing• The Book (with Floydo and Doug)• MUACC ’79, ’96• Electronics: “Stay out of the lab!”
Mentoring and Community• The biggest group with the fewest dollars.
Nerf balls and priests-to-be. Excellence without abrasion.
• Who teaches analytical method development any more?
• Saving an incoming graduate student from a switch to sociology
• International (China, Hungary, Spain, Japan (?), Symposium on Quantitative Luminescence Spectrometry in Biomedical Sciences)
• Analytical Area Budget and Operations• Presbyterian Church of Urbana
