The Eyring Lectures in Chemistry and Biochemistry is an
interdisciplinary distinguished lecturer series dedicated to
stimulating discussions by renowned scientists who are at the cutting edge of their
respective fields. Each lecture series consists of a lead-off presentation to help
communicate the excitement and challenge of this central science to the University and
community, followed by a more specialized colloquium to help bring the audience to the
scientific frontiers of the topics under discussion. Speakers will be scholars in
residence in the Department during their lecture series and will be available for informal
discussions with faculty, students, and other interested individuals.
The Eyring Lectures in Chemistry and Biochemistry bears the name of our
colleague LeRoy Eyring, Regents' Professor of Chemistry, whose extraordinary instructional
and research accomplishments and professional leadership at Arizona State University
helped to bring the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry into international
prominence.
