OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — An Oklahoma Christian University chemistry professor is among 25 scholars from around the world selected for two summers of study in the Scholars and Christianity in Oxford program at Oxford.
Amanda Nichols, an associate professor of chemistry, was selected for her proposal to study the aesthetics and functions of molecular symmetry.
During her two summers at Oxford, Nichols will research literature overviews and case studies of specific molecules.
Jeff McCormack, dean of OC's College of Natural and Health Sciences, says Nichols' accomplishment is a reflection of excellence in her work.
In addition to funding her research and travel to Oxford, the SCIO program will fund an undergraduate research assistant position for Nichols at OC.
