Our colleagues Parker Crandall and Taarna Studemund attended ISMS (International Symposium on Molecular Spectroscopy) in Urbana/Champaign (IL) this year and each gave a talk.
Furthermore, Taarna was awarded the Snyder Award last year for her talk titled "Si2O2+ - PHOTODISSOCIATION & OPTICAL ABSORPTION PROPERTIES", which was handed over to her in a festive ceremony during the conference.
Thanks to the organizers for a well organized conference!
