This is the photo I took in a chemistry lab on campus for my Through Sam's Lens for the Technician. Caption: Gongfang Hu, a second year graduate student studying chemistry, is transferring filtered perylene dyes to a flask for heating up in one of the labs in Dabney Hall Monday. "I am exploring a new synthetic condition to make perylene dyes as required for studies on artificial photosynthesis. The research project is interesting and inspiring for us to understand the nature and ourselves. However, it is not as easy and direct as we thought before" Hu said.
