The Bernstein lab marches for science! Bernstein lab marched for science in both Pittsburgh and Washington, DC. Here Kara is pictured at the March with her Pitt colleagues.
This week we had visitors from a local high school who had just learned about gel electrophoresis and were able to see DNA movement in action. The high school AP biology students heard about life as a scientist, how to get involved in research, and about the cancer research going on in the Bernstein lab. They then had the opportunity to look at cells in a microscope, watch DNA run on a gel, and to streak bakers yeast onto a plate. A great time was had by all.
Kara poses for a picture with Chancellor Gallagher (center) and Dr. Tom Kensler who was also a distinguished scholar awardee.
Cat, Braulio, and Kara are honored at the Honor's Convocation. Cat was honored for being in the top 2% cumulative undergraduate standing at Pitt, Braulio was honored for his Fulbright fellowship for his PhD studies at Pitt, and Kara was honored for the Chancellors Distinguished Research Scholar Award.
We're really proud that Juli was elected to be the postdoctoral representative of the Hispanic Organization of Toxicologists (HOT) Postdoctoral assembly (PDA). Juli will work with the other representatives to increase trainee membership, involvement in HOT, and support career advancement of its members. Congratulations Juli! |
