Chemistry students at Catawba College, working in conjunction with Dr. Mark Sabo, chair of the chemistry department, have completed research and presented their findings at various conferences. Four of the five research presentations were made at national conferences, while one was made at a state conference.

Three of the five research presentations are a result of Sabo's work at the FBI Counterterrorism and Forensic Science Research Unit last summer and during spring break this year.

These chemistry presentations are as follows:

;
• 59th Annual Meeting of The American Academy of Forensic Sciences, San Antonio, TX (February 2007).
  Brian Eckenrode, PhD; Mark Sabo, PhD; Lauren Abendshein, BS; Edward G. Bartick, PhD*; Jarrad Wagner, PhD; Kelly Mount, MS, "Evaluation of a Hand-Held Raman Instrument for Identification of Hazardous Substances"
  
  ;
• The 58th Pittsburgh Conference on Analytical Spectroscopy and Applied Spectroscopy; Chicago, IL (February 2007).
