IGERT Trainees Attend, and Win, at UT Austin IGERT Workshop!
Date: 04/19/2010
IGERT trainees, Kathy Chaurasiya and Joslynn Lee, were selected to attend the 2010 Inter-IGERT Nanoscience and Professional Development Workshop hosted by the Trainees of the UT Austin IGERT (in Atomic and Molecular Imaging). The workshop was designed for Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT) students to share research experiences and avenues toward interdisciplinary work in nanoscience, and learn about aspects of professional life beyond graduate school from experts in their fields. The workshop coincided with the annual Nano Night poster session event hosted by UT-Austin’s Center for Nano and Molecular Science and Technology. The winner of the poster contest was NU IGERT’s own Kathy Chaurasiya. Her poster was titled “Investigating quantum dot toxicity by quantifying DNA polymerase activity with optical tweezers”.
