BEAK-PINES ORGANIC AREA ALLERTON CONFERENCE
The Beak-Pines Organic Area Allerton Conference is an annual event held at Allerton Park twenty miles south of Champaign. At the conference, one student from each UIUC organic chemistry research group presents an oral presentation, and two students from each group present their work in the form of a poster. At the end of the day, awards are presented for outstanding presentations. Below is a history of Chan Lab presentations at the Allerton conference.
