Spirit Chemistry: Dispelling Distillation Deceptions with Bert Lynn

When many people think about Kentucky, bourbon is one of the first things to come to mind. While bourbon, wine, and beer are popular staples in Kentucky, many people hold misconceptions about how it is produced. Bert Lynn, a professor of Chemistry, hopes to dispel many of these myths while also introducing his students to the history and chemistry of beer, wine, and distilled spirits in his course, Spirit Chemistry.

Study for Zach!!

Each night (4/21 – 4/24) we will have the basement available for students to study between the hours of 7 PM – 11 PM.  You can log your hours each night.  Students who study the most individual hours will earn some really amazing prizes. 

So why is it called Study for Zach?  Zach is a seven-year-old boy in Lexington who suffers from a degenerative disease called Progeria.  During this week, we will also be simultaneously collecting donations for Progeria Research!  The floor that raises the most money will win a catered party!  We raised $2000 last year, and hope to raise more this year. 

You can earn one Wired event for each two hours of studying!!
