Congratulations to Darryl Wesener from the Kiessling Lab for his top research proposal at the recent WARF Discovery Challenge.
The Discovery Challenge, part of the WARF Student Ambassador Program, is a two-part research competition for UW–Madison graduate students and postdoctoral researchers from all departments and fields of study. It aims to promote cross-disciplinary research and provides a forum for students to share research results, exchange ideas, improve their communication skills and seek new collaborators. It consists of a research symposium on April 9, followed by a...
UW-Madison has long been a leader in biomedical research, from revolutionizing nutrition science to introducing human stem cells to the world. With its current efforts – spear-headed by Judith Kimble, Vilas Professor of Biochemistry at UW-Madison and Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator, and Marsha Mailick, Vice Chancellor for Research and Graduate Education – UW-Madison is well-positioned to be a leader in guiding its future, as well.
Professors Mike Cox and Aaron Hoskins took ten Biochemistry students to the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Annual Meeting in Boston.
A productive and educational time was had by all. The group was particularly successful in the poster competition.
The David Green Lecture in Enzyme Chemistry on Wednesday April 8 by Kevan Shokat (UC-San Francisco) included a clip from a 16mm film made by David Rogers at Vanderbuilt University.
Amazing to hear that microscopy from the 1950's inspires research in 2015.

CALS Outstanding Senior Awards recognize students for their scholastic performance, leadership, and service. Students who are nominated by their department or have a cumulative grade point average of 3.75 or higher can apply. Applications are reviewed by faculty and staff on the CALS Recruitment and Scholarships Committee.
In addition to their outstanding academic performance, these students demonstrate remarkable records of both leadership and service.
Congratulations Rachel.
Since 1952, NSF has provided fellowships to individuals selected early in their graduate careers based on their demonstrated potential for significant achievements in science and engineering. The NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) is a critical program in NSF's overall strategy to develop the globally-engaged workforce necessary to ensure the nation's leadership in advancing science and engineering research and innovation.
Congratulations Michael Veling from the Pagliarini Lab
The Wisconsin Distinguished Graduate Fellowship program was established in 1997 through collaboration between the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research and Graduate Education (VCRGE), UW Foundation, Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF), UW schools and colleges, and alumni donors.
Congratulations Andrew Reidenbach from the Pagliarini Lab
The NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program recognizes and supports outstanding graduate students in NSF-supported science, technology, engineering, and mathematics disciplines who are pursuing research-based Master's and doctoral degrees at accredited United States institutions.
Congratulations Jessica Cardenas from the Bednarek Laboratory
Biochemistry undergrad Ryan Rebernick has been selected as one of the Wisconsin Agricultural and Life Sciences Alumni Association's (WALSAA) Outstanding Sophomore Award Winners.
Top beer from student competition to be sold at Terrace this spring!
The beer—a red lager that will be called “Inaugural Red”—was selected this past Thursday during a competition held in food science professor Jim Steele’s fermented foods and beverages laboratory class. Six student teams participated in the contest, each presenting a red lager beer of their design to an expert panel of judges.
This April the Graduate School will send two University of Wisconsin-Madison graduate students to learn about science policy and advocacy at the Catalyzing Advocacy in Science and Engineering (CASE) workshop in Washington D.C. The workshop, sponsored by a coalition of scientific groups including the AAAS and AAU, teaches STEM graduate and upper-class undergraduates about the structure and organization of Congress, the federal budget and appropriations process, and tools for effective science communication.
The Graduate School hosted a competitive process to select two graduate...
