Wishing You a Safe and Happy Holiday Season!

Our Graduate Students recently participated in the "Cards for Hospitalized Kids"  drive. They channeled their artistic sides and hand made close to 50 holiday cards for sick children spending the holidays in the hospital.

The department is proud of its students for their time and kind efforts!

We are pleased to announce that the Office of Sponsored Projects Administration (OSPA) has a new staff member, John Craddock. John joins the staff under the auspices of the Vice President for Research with the goal of proactively streamlining compliance for UK investigators seeking funding that may be regulated by export control laws. John has worked as a Principal Investigator at the Center for Applied Energy Research on several export controlled projects where he developed protocols to remain in compliance with U.S. export control laws.

Cheers to this year’s class of doctoral students in the Department of Toxicology and Cancer Biology who have successfully passed their qualifying exam!

The end-of-year holidays are upon us, and for many, it’s a time made all the more meaningful by food. Dishes that are traditions in some families can be powerful reminders of coming together with loved ones to celebrate and reflect.

But, what if the foods that elicit such strong memory and emotion in us no longer tasted the same? Certain foods hold so much sentiment in our lives, how would we react if we could no longer have that experience?
