When the pandemic shut down colleges, many students (future doctors and other future health care workers included) could not continue their laboratory-based studies or were relegated to watching videos of procedures done by others. Using research technology, a national team of scientists, led by Skidmore College, worked diligently to develop chemistry labs that could be conducted safely and interactively by students at home or in their dorm rooms. This presentation, by the team of undergraduates involved in this project, will talk about their work using our microfluidic lab technology during the summer of 2020 to develop lab experiments that are being used by nearly 1000 students this semester including 100 Skidmore students enrolled in Principles of Chemistry (CH 125).
