Dr. Katherine J. Franz

Homecoming this year is on the weekend of October 9-11. Our speaker at the Homecoming colloquium (formally known as The William and Barbara Haller Endowed Lectureship in Biology and Chemistry) will be Dr. Katherine J. Franz, Department of Chemistry, Duke University. Kathy is Dave Franz’ daughter and she will be speaking on her research (Minding Metals: Designing Iron Chelating Agents for Neurodegenerative Disease). Her talk will take place G-11, in the Heim Building, at 4:00 pm. After the colloquium, we will have a brief ceremony where the Instrument lab will be named in her father’s honor. This will take place at 5:30 up on the Chemistry floor. Then at 6:00 we will have the Biology-Chemistry Homecoming dinner. Reservations for the dinner can be placed with our secretary, Debbie Smith, at 570-321-4180. We are hoping many of you can attend these events, we’d love to see you.
