I assisted in the development of pilot curriculum for a “Safety in the Chemistry Lab” course, intended to teach both the accepted best practices in lab safety and the chemical basis for said practices. I spearheaded the implementation of electronic laboratory notebooks in student teaching labs to familiarize students with common industry practices, and to improve student organization.
