Science is one of the premiere
magazines for the publication of peer-reviewed chemistry. With a high impact factor of 28.1
(2008) it (generally) attracts articles of exceptionally broad appeal and
significance. Your assignment is

~fifteen years (1995-). You are to
write a one-page summary of the article in your own words and summarize the
article via a 15-minute in-class presentation. Your presentation must be via PowerPoint/Keynote.
