Notice for Undergraduates
 
Undergraduate students who join our lab for research may receive pass/fail or regular grading academic credit. For our group, regular grading credit requires that a term paper be completed by the student (in addition to normal lab duties). Undergraduate students will be supervised closely by a graduate student or senior scientist who serves as mentor. All undergraduate students must complete safety training as required by both our group and the University of California, Berkeley and the College of Chemistry.
