LEXINGTON, Ky. (April 19, 2021) — The University of Kentucky Office of Nationally Competitive Awards has announced that three Wildcats — biology students Kayli Bolton, Zoe Hert and Carly Karrick — have been awarded a Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship. The UK students are among 410 students nationwide selected to receive the 2021-22 Goldwater Scholarship.

In order to maximize the impact of novel research, every research team needs a plan to bring those findings to the clinic and the communities who need health care treatments. A group of clinicians and scientists at the University of Kentucky is working to launch research discoveries beyond the walls of an academic medical center and into broader contexts – clinical practice, population health, and policy development – in order to efficiently promote research into the real world, particularly in underserved areas.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (April 16, 2021) —  Dr. Larry Goldstein, chair of the University of Kentucky Department of Neurology, has been elected to serve on the board of directors of The American Academy of Neurology (AAN). Goldstein also is co-director of the Kentucky Neuroscience Institute, co-director of the UK Neuroscience Research Priority Area and interim director of the UK-Norton Healthcare Stroke Care Network.
