Brent Speetzen BIO General chemistry lab instructor Brent Speetzen manages the department stockroom. What motivates him he said, is seeing students digest and subsequently apply complex concepts in the lab. His chemistry master’s thesis was “Utilizing a Thermodynamic Cycle to Find the C-HBond Dissociation Energy of Ferrocene and Its Implications in the Ionic vs. Covalent Bonding in Metallocenes.” PUBLICATIONS Speetzen, B., & Kass, S.
