Thank you to everyone who joined us for this year’s Interdepartmental Microbiology Fall Welcome Picnic! It was great to reconnect, meet new members of the community, and enjoy an evening of good food and our bocce ball competition!
MGSO recently participated in the Fall 2023 Women In Science and Engineering (WISE) conference. During the conference highschoolers from all across Iowa participated in various science exercises.
As the semester comes to a close we’d like to highlight and celebrate some of the amazing work and achievements of the graduate students and faculty in the Interdepartmental Microbiology Graduate Program!
