Research in Dr. Li's lab has enhanced my view of chemistry. This research 
         gave me great knowledge of approaching problems unlike ones in a general 
         chemistry lab. Collecting and presenting data is another aspet that I learned. 
         This research will allow me to attend national conventions in the future. One 
         example is the Middle Atlantic Regional Meeting of the ACS which will allow 
         me to present a poster. Future recommendations will have an impact in 
         college goals. I have learned new techniques in solid state synthesis that will 
         help me in the future.
