Albright Chemistry Professor Earns 2023 Vesper Shirk Award
Reading, PA (06/02/2023) — Laura McBride, Ph.D., Reading, Pa., assistant professor of chemistry and biochemistry has earned Albright College's Class of '49 Annadora Vesper Shirk Award for Faculty Scholarship.
The Annadora Vesper Shirk Award for Faculty Scholarship recognizes faculty who best exemplify a commitment to scholarship or creativity, with a focus on a specialized and recent body of work.
McBride is an accomplished scholar with a focus on three major areas of research: air pollution, climate change and ozone depletion. Since joining Albright in the fall of 2022, she has presented her work as the lead author of several research projects with scientists from NASA and NOAA and through international collaborations with scholars from Canada and Germany. Her work has led to publications, conference presentations, international collaborations and student mentorship.
In August 2022, she applied for a three year NASA grant that was selected to be fully funded. Her research informs governments and policymakers in countries across the world through her lead co-authorship of a document that is given to the diplomats at the Montreal Protocol.
