What is The Periodical?
The Periodical is a publication that focuses on the work from content creators who are currently affiliates of the Yale Chemistry Department. Content from other departments may also be accepted. Our purpose is to build community by celebrating art, science, and diversity in chemistry.
Who can submit artwork?
Everyone! Every member of the Yale Chemistry community can participate in The Periodical as a content creator: undergraduate, graduate students, postdocs, faculty, and administrative staff. Participation from student groups or teams of the Yale Chemistry Department, or other affiliated departments, will also be accepted.
