Allbritton gives Adams Lecture at KU

KU's Chemistry Department welcomed its 4^th Adams Lecturer on April 13, 2023, as Nancy Allbritton (Frank & Julie Jungers Dean of Engineering and Professor of Bioengineering at the University of Washington) visited campus and presented on "Designing Functional Microdevices for Biomedical Research." Dr. Allbritton was presented with a framed, commissioned characture of Ralph "Buzz" Adams and a post-lecture reception was held after her lecture in the atrium of Gray-Little Hall open to all faculty and students.

The Ralph N. Adams Lectureship at KU was established in 2017 to maintain cognizance of Dr. Adams's contributions as a scientist, mentor and humanitarian. The lectureship is jointly organized by KU's Department of Chemistry and the Adams Institute, and was made possible thanks to funding generously donated by two Adams research group alumni, Donald W. Leedy and Theodore Kuwana.
