“I have had the opportunity to work as both a tutor and teaching assistant during my time at Samford, and I love sharing my passion for chemistry with others. As a professor, I hope to inspire the next generation of chemists as the faculty in Samford's Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry have inspired me.”Sydney Bottcher, Goldwater Scholar, 2021
