Welcome and thank you for visiting the MOLECULES website.
MOLECULES, an original science show that is being produced to
inspire middle school students to consider a career in science through music, dance, and state-of-the-art multimedia, recently
premiered at the Power Center for the Performing Arts in Ann Arbor, Michigan, June 4-7, 2009.
The
science advisor for MOLECULES is Dr. Brian Coppola, an Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of Chemistry and Associate Chair

young people considering a career in a field of science.
