Chemistry graduate student Kaydren Orcutt highlights how researchers can combine physics and biology, generating single photons in a bid to unentangle the mysteries of photosynthesis. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609478e460b8c12d60ebcf3d/3ffde732-0256-4423-91e5-cb9f5bb8ffea/chromophores+dancing+%281%29.jpg Science Communication - Dancing Chromophores as part of the What is Coherence? series See series at CSQC What is Coherence? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609478e460b8c12d60ebcf3d/1620349115590-X3K30UWRCJT0MJGJ9B47/IMG-0669+%281%29.GIF Science Communication - It’s not easy being green: The role of green light in light harvesting complexes in plants Graham Fleming’s lab has long created new techniques to facilitate further research into the fundamental processes of photosynthesis, especially those processes that have been previously overlooked or not well understood. Graduate student Kaydren Orcutt describes how a new technique, PA-2DEV, was used to study the states involved with harvesting green light by green plants and algae. https://www.kaydrenorcutt.com/research daily 0.75 2025-04-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609478e460b8c12d60ebcf3d/1620784678691-47BM8O5HNAL1J2QBXJ4K/IMG-1048.PNG Research https://www.kaydrenorcutt.com/gallery daily 0.75 2025-04-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609478e460b8c12d60ebcf3d/0eb1a3c9-d892-4a20-8b13-9f98548b6666/Untitled-Artwork.jpg Art Gallery Self portrait https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609478e460b8c12d60ebcf3d/edceeeba-2118-4213-9a0d-513d767bedf9/Untitled-Artwork.gif Art Gallery Animated Sierpinski triangle https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609478e460b8c12d60ebcf3d/a8e67b44-6bfa-4c77-91da-61da3eee3e63/Cover.JPG Art Gallery Lab Coats Can Be Pink, a children's book I illustrated https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609478e460b8c12d60ebcf3d/08e37b40-732b-4feb-9f74-a5d65170d4f4/Untitled-Artwork+%281%29.jpg Art Gallery Digital painting of galaxy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609478e460b8c12d60ebcf3d/3c19c1f2-4d98-4849-8af3-ded73d1b2dad/IMG_0553+%281%29.jpg Art Gallery How to answer complicated questions cheeseburger analogy for science communication article https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609478e460b8c12d60ebcf3d/57feccc5-7418-4d9f-8739-cc9e15930409/IMG-0672+%284%29.JPG Art Gallery Wavelength dependent depth of light https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609478e460b8c12d60ebcf3d/dddf0700-2614-4768-baee-ae66c0afa94e/IMG-0669+%281%29.GIF Art Gallery Scale dependent absorption data https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609478e460b8c12d60ebcf3d/17143f10-96c4-43ef-975c-44382b8223c3/Group+photo+2020+%28illustrated%29.jpg Art Gallery Fleming Group (UC Berkeley) illustrated group photo https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609478e460b8c12d60ebcf3d/80d0fb2d-cfcb-426b-8255-1cf8e2d2dd66/IMG-0453.JPG Art Gallery Photosynthesis infographic https://www.kaydrenorcutt.com/donate daily 0.75 2025-05-13
