Congratulations to the seven 2025 ACS Pride Merck Graduate Research Award recipients! Read more here: tinyurl.com/MerckPROF Stay tuned for more information as the seven will speak at the 2025 ACS Spring Meeting in San Diego. #QueerInSTEM #STEMPride #ResearchExcellence #Award
Seven headshots of the 2025 recipients of the ACS Pride Merck Graduate Research Award are shown on a tan background with their names, pronounces, and institution are displayed. Additionally, the Merck green and gray name logo are shown under the "sponosred by" byline. The ACS PROF Divsion and Pride subdivision logos are also on the graphic.

Great visit from @ChanLabUIUC. He shared his research on chemicals to detect invisible disease states via photoacoustic imaging which is a state-of-the-art technique that generates ultrasound signals from light, which can be detected and converted into high-resolution 3D images.
