It’s conference season once again, and the Wiebe group had an excellent time at two conferences this summer! Emerson represented VIU at the Western Canadian Undergraduate Chemistry Conference in Vancouver, where his poster presentation on his work studying tautomerization and dimerization in 6PPDQ was well received. Emerson and Savannah also attended x2026 in Toronto, where Emerson received the Best Undergraduate Poster Award for his presentation in the Stormwater Contaminants and Treatment Technologies symposium and Savannah presented her exciting new results on the interaction of carfentanil precursor molecules with the µ-opioid receptor in the Sex, Drugs and Rock’n’Roll: The Chemistry & Biology of G Protein-Coupled Receptors symposium. Well done!
