Research Experiences for Undergraduates, REU
Booth #205, 207
The NSF Chemistry Division Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Leadership
Group (LG) is composed of REU Site Directors and other leaders in undergraduate research.
Its mission is to improve the REU program through workshops, travel grants, symposia, and
other innovative activities. The LG also serves as a conduit of information between the REU
community and the NSF, and among the community. Representatives will be available to talk
with faculty about REU Sites and Supplements and also to help students find summer
research positions. The LG is supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF
#0739442). www.nsf-reu.org
Rigaku
Booth #412
Rigaku is a company dedicated to the use of X-ray technology to probe the structure and
composition of synthetic and natural materials. We have a strong passion for the use of
single crystal analysis in analyzing the three dimensional structures of small molecules, as
well as large biological molecules. We will be showing our new benchtop small molecule
system, the XtaLAB mini, at the exhibition. This product is revolutionary in that it provides
the power of a standard single crystal system, packaged as a small benchtop device, with
none of the limitations that other benchtop systems have and at about ½ the price.
Sapling Learning
Booth #302
“Developed by chemists and educators, Sapling Learning is a powerful chemistry online
homework and tutorial instruction platform. Sapling has been adopted by over 80 faculty at
universities and colleges nationwide for introductory chemistry, general chemistry,
general/organic/biochemistry (GOB), organic chemistry, biochemistry, and introductory
chemical engineering. Over 150,000 students have used our software to improve their
chemistry comprehension and problem-solving skills. Instructors benefit from the automatic
grading of assignments, but also appreciate the complete control over the content and
curriculum that Sapling provides. Because Sapling Learning is textbook-independent,
instructors can use Sapling alongside any textbook or alternative instructional resource.”
