Talk: "I Always Wanted to Be..."Dr. Amanda Bryant-Friedrich received her B.S. in Chemistry from North Carolina Central University, a M.S in Chemistry from Duke University and a Dr. rer. nat. (PhD) from the Ruprecht Karls Universität, Heidelberg, Germany. Following a Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Universität Basel, Basel, Switzerland, she was a tenured Associate Professor of Chemistry at Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan before joining the faculty at the University of Toledo where she is on the faculty in the Department of Medicinal and Biological Chemistry and the Dean of the College of Graduate Studies. She was recently awarded the Stanley Israel Regional Award for Promoting Diversity in the Chemical Sciences from the American Chemical Society and the Alice Skeen’s Outstanding Women Award from the University of Toledo University Women’s Commission.

Raynella M. “Maggie” Connatser, Ph.D.Raynella M. “Maggie” Connatser, Ph.D., is an analytical chemist in the Oak Ridge National Laboratory Environmental Sciences Division and a member of the Fuels, Engines, and Emissions Research Center, where she serves as sub-principal investigator of the ORNL’s Round Robin subtask, as well as being a co-investigator on the task Bio-oil Corrosion Species Identification within ORNL’s project Materials Degradation In Biomass Derived Oils. Dr. Connatser’s current work focuses on investigating the chemical groups correlating with corrosion in bio-oils from various feedstocks and pathways, in addition to developing analytical methods to survey corrosive tendencies of bio-oils with shorter time, lower volume metal-oil interaction evaluations. Early in her professional career, during her doctoral research as a National Science Foundation fellow, and then ORNL post-doctoral associate, prior work included surface enhanced Raman and fluorescence spectroscopy deployed directly or via optical fibers for investigating polyaromatic hydrocarbons in water, endocrine disrupting chemicals, and latent human fingerprints, and copper complex luminescence, as well as microfluidic separations for metals and, separately, endocrine disruptors.

Poster Session Requirements
Session Description
Poster sessions will allow for the informal discussion of scholarly research being done by women in science, technology, engineering and math fields. Poster presenters will be assigned to one of two, 2-hour poster sessions (Session A – 8:30-11:00 AM, Session B – 1:00-3:30 PM) based on department (field) and specific research area. Posters should be put up in the morning before the opening remarks and will remain up all day for viewing until after the closing remarks at 4 PM.
Submission Format
Poster session abstracts are limited to the following:
- Title
- Author(s) name(s) and institution(s)
- Abstract (not to exceed 300 words) that briefly addresses the following topics:
- Overall research goal, hypotheses, and/or background
- Methodology, experimental design, instrumentation, and/or techniques used to collect/analyze data
- Results, discussion, and/or conclusions
Selection Criteria
In the event that more applicants submit abstracts than can be accommodated in the University space, abstracts will be evaluated based on the following criteria:
- Is the title accurate, broadly descriptive, and communicate the importance of the research?
- Is the work grounded in a larger body of theory or research?
- Is the description of the research approach clear?
- Does the abstract communicate the originality and/or innovation of the work?
- Is the abstract organized well and concise?
- You may download the rubric that the judges will use to evaluate your poster presentation below:
Poster Preparation and Size Limitations
Posters should be printed on flexible, matte paper and should not exceed a maximum of 48 inches wide x 36 inches tall.
Posters should be hung according to the number you receive when you check in at the registration table on March 21st. Push pins and technical equipment for hanging posters will be provided. Neither tables nor power sources will be provided. We recommend that you bring business cards or post contact information near your poster should someone you meet like to continue your discussion after the session.

Oral Sessions
Session Description
PowerPoint-based oral sessions will allow for the formal presentation of scholarly research being done by women at in science, technology, engineering and math fields. Presentations will be assigned to one 20-minute time slot in one of two, 2-hour oral sessions (Session A – 8:30-11:00 AM, Session B – 1:00-3:30 PM) along with five other presenters in their research field. Talks should be prepared to be 15 minutes in length. There will be 5 minutes after each talk for questions/comments, and 5 minutes between each talk for travel time between rooms.
Submission Format
Oral session abstracts are limited to the following:
Note: Once you have submitted your abstract, you may not edit or resubmit. Only one abstract may be submitted per student.
