Christine Phipps \u201919, who received an American Institute of Chemists Award, answered a few questions about her path to chemistry. At Transy she participated in the American Chemical Society Demo Exchange and presented research at the Ohio Inorganic Weekend and the national meeting of the American Chemical Society in New Orleans. She\u2019s been awarded a full scholarship and stipend to pursue a Ph.D. at the University of Louisville.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where did you grow up, and why did you choose Transy?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I grew up in Belvedere, Illinois, by Chicago. I chose Transy because I wanted to go somewhere that would be an adventure, and when I came for a scholarship interview I fell in love! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When did you know that you wanted to\nmajor in chemistry? What is it about chemistry that draws you to it?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I knew I wanted to major in chemistry\nin sophomore year of high school. I love how chemistry is what it is. I love\nfiguring out why things do or do not happen, like a puzzle. While at Transy, my\nprofessors not only taught me chemistry, but how chemistry makes our lives\nbetter. I knew I wanted to be a part of that. I originally came to Transy as\npre-med, but quickly realized I didn\u2019t like the people as much as the lab and\nfigured I could help the world through chemistry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the benefits of getting a\nliberal arts education? How has your broader education made you a better\nscientist?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I started researching with Dr. Brown the summer after my freshman year. Dr. Csuhai, my a term prof, recommended that I get in with a professor early to research, no matter if I stayed pre-med or changed my mind. The best thing at Transy, in my opinion, is the research opportunities in the hard sciences. In other universities it\u2019s super competitive, but here more of the majors get a chance to work with their PI [principal investigator] one-on-one because there are fewer people. How down-to-earth Dr. Brown is made it easy for me to go to her with questions and learn more about my chemistry while learning how to problem-shoot problems that are unique to my synthesis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While at Transy, my professors not only taught me chemistry, but how chemistry makes our lives better. I knew I wanted to be a part of that.<\/p>Christine Phipps ’19<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

How did being at Transy help you define\nyour path? What were the opportunities that helped you progress (research,\npresentations, mentoring)?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The chemistry department has a challenging curriculum that forces students to troubleshoot in the lab and internalize core concepts. My 100 Doors mentor, Jo Ellen Hayden, helped me rule out potential careers by helping me learn how much I couldn\u2019t handle being a vet. She helped me get an internship at Hagyard Equine Medical Institute during foaling season. \u2026 My core classes had me read scientific papers and present on them to learn how to critically read a chemistry paper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How did Transy help you stand out to\ngrad programs?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hands down my research experience was the biggest help in getting into graduate schools. My schooling is paid for, and I get a stipend at the University of Louisville, where I\u2019ll be getting my Ph.D. in chemistry!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you hope to do when you finish\nyour studies?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope to work with the Department of\nEnergy to find more efficient fuel sources. Coal actually doesn\u2019t keep the\nlights on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How has Transy prepared you to succeed?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The research experience and intimate\nprofessor\/student relationships. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m going to miss hearing about all\nthe chemistry department pets. I\u2019m going to miss the day Dr. Bob finally gets a\ndog. I\u2019m going to miss the chess live-streams. I\u2019m going to miss watching \u201cThe\nOffice\u201d on my laptop on the chem floor. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
