Bhopal: Though the Madhya Pradesh government has taken a path-breaking decision to start MBBS course in Hindi from the 2022-2023 academic session, experts in the medical field have expressed reservations over the move because of unavailability of quality books in the language on the subject.

Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan recently announced that from the new academic session, the Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) course will be taught in Hindi at the Bhopal-based Gandhi Medical College (GMC) to first year students.

Currently, medical education is imparted only in English.

Besides, Chouhan also announced that BTech degree and polytechnic diploma courses, in six colleges each, will be taught in the Hindi language as part of the National Education Policy (NEP) from July 2022.

State medical education minister Vishvas Sarang, the driving force behind the move, said Madhya Pradesh is the first state in the country to come out with the initiative to teach MBBS in Hindi.

We are starting MBBS course in Hindi for the first time in the country. No other state is offering medical education in the mother-tongue Madhya Pradesh is the first to do so, he told PTI.

Sarang said textbooks, especially in physiology, anatomy and biochemistry, are being prepared in Hindi for students and they will be made available soon.

However, experts in the medical fraternity remain sceptical about the MBBS in Hindi move.

Former vice-chancellor of Indore-based Devi Ahilyabai Vishwa Vidyalaya (DAVV) and a senior pediatrician, Dr Bharat Chhaperwal, said, I am not against imparting medical education in Hindi, but are quality textbooks with updated advancements in the field available for students?

Research articles published in quality medical journals like Lancet, British Medical Journal and New England Medical Journal, among others, take three to four years at least to find a place in textbooks, he said.

Chhaperwal said he is not against Hindi, but as a medical professional he feels not enough preparations were made before announcing the decision.

Governments should leave this issue to professionals instead of deciding in which language medicine and surgery should be taught, he said.

When pointed out that in many countries like Japan, Russia, China and France, medical education is being imparted in the mother tongue, Chhaperwal said in these nations an adequate number of quality textbooks are available in their native language, which was not the case in India.

The government has created a Hindi university in the state and tasked it with preparing MBBS textbooks in the widely spoken language, but this will not benefit pupils as such, especially tribals, he said.

If the government really wanted to transform the lives of tribals then it should start giving them quality education right from the beginning, the former vice- chancellor remarked.

A senior Bhopal-based doctor, Pushpendra Sharma, who has done his MBBS and a course equivalent to MS Surgery from the Odessa State Medical University in Ukraine, said a lot of efforts will be required to make the move successful.

It is not such a simple task to start teaching MBBS in Hindi. The move requires a lot of preparations as medical terminologies need to be translated in Hindi first. It is a tough call, he remarked.

Asked how some other countries are managing to impart medical education in their native language, Sharma said they had been doing so for ages and therefore have developed a rich course content for students.

A former director of the All-India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), speaking on the condition of anonymity, termed the decision as unfortunate , but did not elaborate.

However, senior BJP leader and a doctor by profession, Dr Hitesh Bajpai, supported the move.

We are committed to provide technical education in the mother tongue of students. One should not be left behind because of any language, he said.

Minister Sarang said textbooks for three subjects to be taught in the first year are being readied by a team of experts.

Books are being prepared in such a manner that technical terms like blood pressure, spine, heart, kidney, liver or other important body parts and related terms are written in Hindi, Sarang said.

We are preparing textbooks in such a manner that those studying MBBS in Hindi will not lag behind after completion of the course as they will be learning all the technical and medical terms in English as well in Hindi, he added.

Sarang said in the first year only three subjects physiology, anatomy and biochemistry are mainly taught to students.

Our preparations are on for making the textbooks available in Hindi for students before the start of the course, the minister said.

The value of being able to visit with classmates and colleagues in-person and face-to-face was a recurring theme expressed by attendees at the 2022 Purdue Veterinary Conference. Held at the Purdue Memorial Union and Lynn Hall September 20-24, the event was conducted as an in-person continuing education conference for the first time since the pandemic.

This years Purdue Veterinary Conference featured a full slate of over 100 courses offering Continuing Education credits. In addition, attendees had many opportunities to visit the Exhibit Hall, which featured more than 25 exhibitors. They also were able to join in special events, including the Alumni and Friends Celebration Thursday, September 22, when top alumni and teaching awards were presented and alumni in classes celebrating milestone reunions were recognized.

The conference attracted nearly 750 attendees, including more than 170 veterinarians and 110 veterinary nurses as well as College of Veterinary Medicine faculty, staff and students. The week kicked off with the annual Elanco Human Animal Bond Lecture featuring a talk entitled The Other End of the Leash: Why Animals Are Important for Human Development, featuring Dr. Gail Melson, Professor Emerita with the Purdue University Department of Human Development & Family Studies, who has played a long-standing role in research related to the human animal bond.

Other conference features included two keynote sessions. Makenzie Peterson, DSW, MSc, gave the Wellness Keynote at noon Wednesday, September 21, in the Purdue Memorial Union North Ballroom. Her talk was entitled, Culture Change & Wellbeing in Veterinary Medicine. The Diversity Keynote on Thursday, September 22, featured Dr. Lisa M. Greenhill, who gave a presentation entitled, Developing your Sense of Agency to Promote Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion in the Workplace.

The conference also featured various continuing education tracks including Veterinary Nursing, Small Animal, Ruminant, Swine, Equine, and Practice Management and Communication, as well as industry presentations, USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) modules, and a Diagnostic Medicine track that included sessions led by Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory section heads and Dr. Kenitra Hendrix, ADDL director; Dr. Craig Bowen, ADDL assistant director; and Dr. Grant Burcham, veterinary diagnostician with the Heeke Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory in Southern Indiana.

The conference concluded with a beloved tradition, the Dr. Skip Jackson Dog Jog, which started and ended in front of Lynn Hall, adjacent to the Continuum Sculpture. The successful event was extra meaningful this year, because it occurred just days after the passing of its namesake, Dr. Horace Skip Jackson, professor emeritus of biochemistry and veterinary physiology. As a tribute to Dr. Jackson, a moment of silence was held at the beginning of the race. Then Dean Willie Reed led a countdown to the official start of the race, and participants, including dozens of canine companions, were off and running or walking on a course that wound past picturesque areas of the southern portion of the Purdue campus.

The dates already are set for next years Purdue Veterinary Conference. The conference will be held September 19-23, 2023.

Removing the excess moisture from the ribs before cooking will do a few things. Even if your ribs are marinating, it is advised to pat them dry to help prior to cooking. According to the Kitchn, using paper towels to pat the meat dry increases the contact the meat has with the pan or grill and reduces the amount of steam created while cooking. This steam will, in turn, stop the meat from browning properly. Without it though, ribs will be able to create a delicious crust, adding additional flavors and aromas, due to the Maillard reaction.

Joseph Provost, a chemistry and biochemistry professor at the University of San Diego, told The Washington Post thatmeat should be as dry as possible before cooking so that the energy created by the heat can go straight to the food instead of evaporating moisture. This science holds true for ribs. Amazing Ribs notes to always ensure meat is dry before cooking for this very reason. Not only do they have to be pat dry before, but marinating and basting can also prevent the ribs from browning.

So, next time you're cooking up some ribs, be sure to grab a kitchen towel or a roll of paper towels; you don't want to forget this important step for the ultimate flavor.

Why You Should Pat Ribs Dry Before Cooking Them - Tasting Table

Researchers at the University of WisconsinMadison have described the way an enzyme and proteins interact to maintain the protective caps, called telomeres, at the end of chromosomes, a new insight into how a human cell preserves the integrity of its DNA through repeated cell division.

DNA replication is essential for perpetuating life as we know it, but many of the complexities of the process how myriad biomolecules get where they need to go and interact over a series of intricately orchestrated steps remain mysterious.

From left, Qixiang He, Ci Ji Lim, Xiuhua Lin.

The mechanisms behind how this enzyme, called Pol-primase, works have been elusive for decades, says Ci Ji Lim, an assistant professor of biochemistry and principal investigator on new research into DNA replication published recently in Nature. Our study provides a big breakthrough in understanding DNA synthesis at the ends of chromosomes, and it generates new hypotheses about how Pol-primase a central cog in the DNA replication machine operates.

Every time a cell divides, the telomeres at the end of the long DNA molecule that makes up a single chromosome shorten slightly. Telomeres protect chromosomes like an aglet protects the end of a shoelace. Eventually, the telomeres are so short that vital genetic code on a chromosome is exposed and the cell, unable to function normally, enters a zombie state. Part of a cells routine maintenance includes preventing excessive shortening by replenishing this DNA using Pol-primase.

At the telomere construction site, Pol-primase first builds a short nucleic acid primer (called RNA) and then extends this primer with DNA (then called RNA-DNA primer). Scientists thought Pol-primase would need to alter its shape when it switches from RNA to DNA molecule synthesis. Lims lab found that Pol-primase makes the RNA-DNA primer at telomeres using a rigid scaffold with the help of another cog in the telomere replication machine, an accessory protein called CST. CST acts like a stop-and-go sign that halts the activity of other enzymes and brings Pol-primase to the construction site.

Before this study, we had to imagine how Pol-primase works to complete telomere replication at the ends of chromosomes, says Lim. Now, we have high-resolution structures of Pol-primase bound to an accessory protein complex called CST. We found that after CST binds to the template DNA strand at the telomere, it facilitates the action of Pol-primase. In doing so, CST sets the stage for Pol-primase to first synthesize RNA and then DNA using a unified architectural platform.

The researchers also got a glimpse into how Pol-primase might initiate DNA synthesis elsewhere along the length of a chromosome. Other scientists have also found the CSTpol--primase complex at sites where DNA damage is being repaired and where DNA replication has stalled.

Because Pol-primase plays a central and very important role in DNA replication in telomeres and elsewhere along chromosomes its the only enzyme that makes primers on DNA templates from scratch for DNA replication our CSTPol-primase structure provides new insights into how Pol-primase can also do its job during genomic DNA replication, Lim says. Its a very elegant solution that nature has evolved to accomplish this complicated process.

Our findings reveal an unprecedented role that CST plays in facilitating this Pol-primase activity, explains first author Qixiang He, a graduate student in the UWMadison biophysics graduate program. It will be interesting to see if accessory factors involved in DNA replication elsewhere on chromosomes set up Pol-primase the same way as CST does for telomeres.

The researchers built the structural model of CSTPol-primase using an advanced imaging technique called cryo-electron microscopy single-particle analysis. In cryo-EM, rapidly frozen samples are suspended in a thin film of ice, then imaged with a transmission electron microscope, resulting high-resolution, 3D models of biomolecules like the enzymes at work in DNA replication.

Lims team used cryo-EM single particle analysis to first determine the structure of CSTPol-primase and then home in on visualizing moving parts of the complex in greater detail. They collected data at the UWMadison Cryo-Electron Microscopy Research Center (CEMRC), housed in the UWMadison Department of Biochemistry, and the NCI-funded National Cryo-Electron Microscopy Facility at the Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research.

We started with a conundrum from our biochemical assay, but once we imaged the CSTpol--primase co-complex and saw its cryo-EM structures, everything immediately became clear. This was extremely satisfying for everyone on the team. Beyond that, the structures also provide ideas that we can now design experiments to test, says Xiuhua Lin, lab manager and co-author of the new study.

Among these ideas are capturing how CSTpol-/primase works in more detail. The researchers also want to map the entire human telomere replication process, and theyre studying how CSTpol-/primase terminates its activity once the DNA at telomeres is copied.

You cant really study how a car moves by looking at its individual parts you have to assemble the parts and observe how they work together. But biomolecular machinery often has so many moving parts that it can be difficult to study, Lim says. Thats where the power and versatility of cryo-electron microscopy single-particle analysis come in. This approach allowed us to put together a high-resolution atomic model and provided critical insights into how it moves, which in turn facilitated our understanding of how the human CSTPol-primase works.

The research was supported by a grant from the National Institutes of Health (R00GM131023).

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. Clint Chapple, distinguished professor in the Purdue University College of Agricultures Department of Biochemistry, has been elected to the National Academy of Sciences. NAS membership recognizes achievement in original research and is widely regarded as one of the highest honors in science and technology.

Chapple will be among approximately 2,400 active U.S. NAS members. Academy members elect a maximum of 120 U.S. researchers and 30 international members annually for outstanding professional achievement and commitment to service.

Election into the NAS is an outstanding honor for scientists, and Clint is most deserving, said Karen Plaut, the Glenn W. Sample Dean, College of Agriculture. He is a top-notch scholar who has received awards for research, teaching and mentoring students. We are elated he has been recognized for his contributions to his field, and we are proud to have him as part of our faculty.

Andrew Mesecar, head of the Department of Biochemistry, said, He was elected to the National Academy because of his forefront contributions to his field. He is world renowned for that and for his service to the plant sciences community. This is what the world sees. What the world doesnt see is an exceptional leader who is willing to sacrifice for the greater good of the department.

The NAS specifically noted Chapples work in understanding the biosynthesis of lignin, the hardening component in plant cell walls that serves various important biological functions. In Chapples nearly 30 years at Purdue, his study of lignin has expanded along with its applicability to pulp and paper production, animal feedstocks and biofuels.

The plant cell wall is a fundamental part of the plant body, Chapple explained. Starting in 1993, my group was able to learn about the fundamentals of what enzymes and genes are important for plants to make lignin in the cell wall. We were able to manipulate their expression and learned to reprogram the plant to make a lignin that might be more suitable for a variety of applications. Overall, we learned a lot in the process.

Plaut noted that Chapple also has been instrumental in advancing plant sciences initiatives that have strengthened research and teaching in the College of Agriculture. Chapple co-founded and directed the Center for Plant Biology, which hired 10 new assistant professors to work across multiple disciplines within the center, funded as part of the Institute of Plant Sciences.

Investment in plant sciences through Purdue Moves and its successor, Purdues Next Moves, has helped sustain an environment in which Chapples research has flourished. He credits his former and current graduate students and postdocs for their contributions:

Ive had great people in my lab, many of whom are in industry or faculty members at other universities, he said.

Chapple values his NAS election as affirmation from highly accomplished peers.

If you can move the needle in terms of human knowledge and get paid for it and have fun! thats a great opportunity, he said. Ive been very fortunate.

Haley Jostes '23

Haley Jostes 23, a Gustavus Adolphus College junior with majors in chemistry and biochemistry and molecular biology, has been named a Goldwater Scholar in recognition of her exceptional research contributions and future promise.

Established by Congress in 1986, the Goldwater Scholarship Program is one of the oldest and most prestigious national scholarships in the natural sciences, engineering, and mathematics in the United States. Higher education institutions can nominate up to four sophomore and junior students, and the selected scholars receive up to $7,500 each academic year in support of their research endeavors.

Haley Jostes 23

Jostes is one of the 417 scholars selected from over a thousand nominees across the country. The Goldwater Scholarship is something you can mention in the scientific research world and pretty much everyone knows what it is, she said. Its a really great springboard into future research positions.

The Goldwater Scholarship isnt the first fellowship shes earned as a Gustavus researcher. In 2021, she was awarded a DAAD RISE Scholarship to complete a summer research internship at TU-Bergakademie Freiberg in Germany. Her research focused on PFAS, colloquially known as forever chemicals due to their inability to break down in nature, and how clay nanodeposits could be used to absorb and remove PFAS from water.

Jostess work took place in a large international laboratory, with collaborators from Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States.It was a noticeable change from the labs at Gustavus, where Jostes worked closely with environmental studies and chemistry professor Jeff Jeremiason and chemistry professor Dwight Stoll.

Both professors have been instrumental in helping me build my career and research path, said Jostes. Theyre very different in their mentorship style, but both have your best interests at heart.

Jostes found additional mentorship at Gustavus through the older students in her labs who introduced her to various undergraduate research scholarships. Their advice led her to the Fellowships Office, where she received valuable guidance on her applications and cover letters. The whole application process forced me to look at exactly what I want to do with my future, said Jostes. What do you want to do and why? How are you shaping your path right now? That self-examination was really helpful.

Jostes is considering several paths to continue research after Gustavus, including graduate studies in analytical and water chemistry and a year-long Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) through the National Science Foundation.

For Jostes, seeking out new research opportunities is continuing a passion shes developed since high school, where she participated in regional, national and international science competitions. During her college search, she passed up large research institutions in favor of Gustavus, which promised a high-quality undergraduate research program in a small, personable environment that would expose her to subjects beyond her major.

I have a minor in statistics, and Im finishing up a minor in management. I dont think thats something I would have done if I wasnt at a liberal arts college.

Now, she encourages first-year Gusties to take advantage of the First-Year Research Experience (FYRE) Program and other opportunities to get involved with the kind of work that fuels her curiosity about the mysteries of our world.

The thing I love most about research is that there are unanswered questions, she said. The answers already exist for a homework sheet, but doing research lets you look into a realm of things that are unexplored.

Students interested in applying for a fellowship are encouraged to fill out the Fellowship Offices first meeting form to schedule an appointment. For more information about the Gustavus Fellowships Office and the support it gives to students, please visit the fellowships website.

Haley Jostes '23 Named Goldwater Scholar - The junior chemistry and biochemistry and molecular biology double major plans to pursue graduate research...

Like most high school golfers in search of a college home, Norah Roberts had established a specific list of criteria and applied it to each school she visited.

"My biggest piece of advice would be to do your research and really figure out what you want. Knowing what you are looking for in a school and golf program is the most important thing for any athlete to be aware of.

"From there, you really need to put yourself out there. College coaches arent necessarily going to find you; instead, you need to find them and let them know youre there. If you arent willing to take the time to send a lot of emails and keep updating coaches on your recent results, it is going to become a lot more difficult for you to find the right fit.

"After awhile, you will have to decide what schools to focus in on based on what schools have shown an interest. From my experience you can send 20 emails to some coaches and never receive a response from them. When this happens, it is important to realize that there are other schools out there. ... It is key that you dont confine yourself to a small list of prospects. Allowing this will likely lead to disappointment.

"Finally, I would like to say that I would love to answer any questions that an athlete may have as they are going through their own recruiting process, since I know it can be a confusing and frustrating process."

Specifically, the Union Grove senior and No. 1 golfer in the Wisconsin.Golf girls Class of 2023 state rankings and 2021 WIAA Division 1 state runner-up wanted a school that offered:

A college-town feel.

A good-sized student population.

A solid women's golf program.

A broad choice of majors from which to choose.

"North Dakota State checked all of the boxes, which led to my commitment," Roberts wrote in an email interview with Wisconsin.Golf, elaborating on her March 26 tweet announcing her decision to choose the Bison over UW-Green Bay, Butler, Loyola (Ill.), Drake, Missouri State, Creighton, Indiana University-Purdue University-Indianapolis and Bradley, "to mention a few" of the schools that she was considering and/or visited during the recruiting process.

"Most of the schools I visited had golf programs that felt like a family, but what made NDSU stand out is that it gives me a lot of academic freedom. It was the only school that offered both majors that I am interested in: engineering and biochemistry. Not to mention that NDSU has a good golf program and features a solid, competitive schedule in both the fall and spring seasons."

Roberts' decision continues the export of talent from the Wisconsin PGA Junior Tour to coach Matt Johnson's NDSU program in Fargo.

Over the last 12 months, both Middleton's Alexis Thomas and Oregon's Taylor McCorkle completed their college careers with the Bison. Currently, sophomore Holly Murphy of Lake Geneva and freshmen Jo Baranczyk of Green Bay and Elise Hoven of Grafton are on the NDSU roster, with Baranczyk (second in scoring during the 2021-22 season at 77.21) and Hoven (fourth at 77.40) having found homes in the Bison lineup.

"I went on a campus visit in February and I was able to meet and hang out for a few days with the team," Roberts wrote. "We attended a basketball game, which gave me a good feel for the amount of school spirit that both the school and the city of Fargo have for their university. I visited their facilities and was able to practice with them twice.

"They have a really nice short-game center, Trackman simulator and are currently building a new indoor sports center. Additionally, Coach Johnson was very receptive and easy to communicate with during this whole process."

In Roberts, the Bison are getting a golfer who has enjoyed steady improvement since reaching high school.

After winning five events on the WPGA Junior Tour and three more on the Tour Edge Milwaukee County Parks series in 2019 and 2020, Roberts broke through in 2021 with her first major championship victory at the Wisconsin Junior Girls State Championship, added T-2 finishes at the Lake Arrowhead Invitational and WIAA state tournament and a pair of of third-place showings at the Morgan Stanley Tour Championship and the Sherri Steinhauer. She also turned heads with solid showings at the Wisconsin State Women's Amateur (T-10) and the Wisconsin State Women's Open (T-28).

"I hope to go there and be able to contribute to the team as well as learn things from the players that are more experienced playing at the college level," Roberts wrote. "NDSU has had and currently has some great players. They have won tournaments and conference championships in the past and that is still their goal moving forward. I want to be part of that tradition and work to make those goals a reality."

Chance to mix engineering, biochemistry with golf leads Union Grove's Norah Roberts to join Wisconsin contingent at North Dakota State -...

Ziff graduated from James Madison High School in Vienna, Virginia, but because her father works for the State Department, the family moved to different countries every few years, she said.

Her experiences of science classes varied from place to place, she said. In Bogot, she and just four peers would get to their 7 a.m. AP biology course, where the instructor encouraged them to be curious and used a Socratic method of inquiry. In Rome, her AP chemistry course was more traditional.

As the family moved around the world, she danced wherever they went.

It was often a way to connect with my peers in different countries, Ziff said. When my family moved to a new place including Venezuela, Italy, Colombia, Spain or the U.S. I would search for a new dance studio and enroll, and it not only continued my practice, but helped me make local friends and learn the language.

After Ziff studied with the Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company in Northern Israel several times, and then the danza180grados conservatory in Madrid, Spain, she decided that this pursuit of experiences in movement was not just a hobby and she would put more effort into it. The program in Israel was especially demanding and intensive, she said. She returned to the Israeli dance company for five months during a gap year before coming to UVA.

That was a turning point. I knew I wanted to continue studying dance in college, said Ziff, whose mother is Israeli. I wanted to major in biochemistry and minor in dance because Im interested in the details.

She added that she was increasingly interested in the more intricate pathways of life, how tiny fragments of us transform and interact, literally on the molecular level.

She acknowledged that studying chemistry and practicing dance require different kinds of learning, but there are similarities, as well.

There are many small parts that make up the molecular intricacies of the bodys regulation, and changing a few of those parts can have rippling effects, Ziff said. As I learned more about dance, I realized that small changes in body language, style, music choice, lighting and a host of other factors within a piece of choreography can completely shift its mood and meaning.

Despite its small size, UVAs dance program, housed in the Drama Department, offered some mighty strong opportunities for a motivated student like Ziff, who had to get even more creative during the COVID-19 lockdown.

She joined the Miller Arts Scholars, an interdisciplinary arts program that offers a variety of resources for undergraduates to pursue their artistic dreams. The students meet in required seminars, work with faculty and visiting artists, and plan projects and events in their fields. They not only have to present a proposal for a project, but also follow up with a report on the outcome.

For a project last year, Ziff choreographed and created a dance film, learning how to record and edit a performance. In 2020-21, she also earned funding for a Rising Third-Year Arts Award, originally to attend an intensive training session at the American Dance Festival in New York City. When the pandemic prevented that, she and fellow student Kiana Pilson, another Miller Arts Scholar in Dance and arts awardee, commissioned an original duet from acclaimed choreographer Helen Simoneau, to be performed at the UVA Dance Programs Virtual Spring Dance Concert.

This spring, each department in the University of Arizona's College of Science nominated an outstanding senior who went above and beyond during their time as a Wildcat. We are pleased to share their stories as they reflect on their time at UArizona. Next up in the senior spotlight series is Kiah Sleiman.

Hometown: Tucson, AZ

Department:Chemistry & Biochemistry

College of Science: Why did you choose your area of study?

Kiah: In my life, I have always been encouraged to understand the why whenever I learned something new, which allowed my curiosity to flourish. My job leading into my college years was a lifeguard at a therapeutic facility, where I interacted with elderly people with many different ailments that did not have direct treatments, like rheumatoid arthritis. The treatments for RA target mostly the symptoms rather than the root of the disease, and in my curiosity of why autoimmunity is more severe in some individuals than others, I joined an RA research lab my senior year of high school. Inspired with what I learned working there, I had decided that I wanted to do biomedical research, and biochemistry is the perfect area of study to provide the base knowledge required to branch into many more nuanced fields, like immunology. With biochemistry, I established a foundation for myself that I would be able to build on in whatever specific field of research that I decide to pursue, while not limiting myself when first starting college.

COS: Tell us about a class or research project you really enjoyed.

Kiah:Having worked in an immunology lab throughout college, I finally had a chance to take an immunology class my Fall semester senior year with Dr. Wilbur. Being able to go back to basics and build an understanding of the immune system as a whole, rather than immediately focusing on the narrow portion that I had been studying in lab, gave me a new appreciation for what I had been observing and opened up new avenues and questions to pursue. After that class, it really felt like everything clicked into place in my experiences of the previous years. Dr. Wilburs Art Show elevated the whole class to another level, when, after having delved into a complex topic like immunology all semester, you have to then step back and think creatively about how to simplify the topic enough to become approachable to someone outside the field.

COS: What is one specific memory from your time at UA that you'll cherish forever?

Kiah:Before COVID hit my sophomore year, I had just begun the process of expanding my focuses beyond academics and trying to be social. Post-COVID, developing a strong social life seemed impossible, but the friendships I had formed pre-COVID actually solidified during quarantine. Between FaceTime and Zoom, we were able to have study sessions and still have fun while being socially distanced. Before quarantine, one friend and I would cook together every Saturday, trying new recipes and experimenting with weird fruits. At one point during the lockdown, we decided to try to do that again virtually and find something we both could make with what we had in our kitchens. After a long rabbit hole of bizarre adaptations of recipes from the Great Depression, we eventually landed on making tortillas from scratch. While it wasnt a complex recipe, the return to some level of normalcy along with the chaos of trying to make tortillas over FaceTime together filled me with hope, and I will take that experience with me forever. I had never been so excited to have a tortilla as I was in that moment, and even today we still reference the hilarity of effectively hosting cooking shows for a 3 ingredient, very simple recipe.

COS: What is next for you after graduation?

Kiah:After graduation, I will be continuing my education in pursuit of a PhD in Biology from Baylor University.

Outstanding Seniors in the College of Science: Kiah Sleiman - University of Arizona News

Major: Psychology and BiochemistryYear: Third year

With her sights set on veterinary school, Helena Lin intended to major in biology or biochemistry when she first began her studies at Case Western Reserve University.

She gradually realized that becoming a vet was just a childhood dream that originated from her love for her cousins miniature schnauzerand she didnt know much about what its really like to work in the field.

Lin didnt have to dig deep to find her true passion, thoughit was always in front of her.

I found myself interested in every psychology course, and looking back, I realized that I have had the thought of becoming a counselor several times in the past, Lin explained. When I saw my friends struggling with depression symptoms, I really wished that I could have the ability to help them get better, and I still do.

Now a third-year psychology and biochemistry major, Lin believes her undiagnosed social anxiety kept her from thinking about the possibility of becoming a counselor. Her symptoms became more intense over the years, to the point where she couldnt make new friends, didnt ask questions in class, and couldnt muster up the courage to get involved in clubsall things she wished she could do.

It wasnt until her sophomore year at CWRU, when she applied to be an orientation leader, that she realized how much social anxiety was impacting her life.

I was really nervous and my heart was pounding so fast every time I wanted to speak up during the group interview process, said Lin, who traveled to the United States from China to attend Case Western Reserve. I ended up feeling exhausted halfway through the interview and gave up participating and sharing thoughts during some of the portions.

She wasnt selected as an orientation leader. At first she was upset and disappointed with herself, but came to realize that blaming herself wouldnt help her get closer to her goals, and instead, she needed to take steps to overcome her anxiety.

Lin reached out to University Health and Counseling Services to begin her journey, and slowly started to come out of her shellshe started asking the Starbucks barista for a straw when she needed one, and she signed up for English tutoring to improve her language skills.

With encouragement from professors, my friends and family along the way, Im now a peer tutor and I got selected to become an orientation leader for this summer! she said proudly. I think overcoming my social anxiety really helped me get where I am today. I cant say that Ive completely overcome it, but I wont allow it to control me and keep me from reaching my goals any more.

Now, shes compiled a laundry list of achievements at Case Western Reserveand beyond. She volunteered at the Animal Protection League for a while, in addition to completing community service through the Civic Engagement Scholars program. She works as a peer tutor, tutoring students in general chemistry, physiological psychology and biochemistry courses.

Lin has also participated in diversity and inclusion events, and volunteered for the Send Silence Packing event, which aims to end the silence that surrounds mental health while advancing suicide prevention. Lin is also the outreach chair of the Chinese Student Association and a member of Klover, a student K-pop dance group.

When she completes her undergraduate studies, Lin hopes to attend graduate school to prepare to become a counselor or clinical psychologist to help those with mental health conditions.

Though there are many uncertainties in the future, I [hope] I can go back to [work in] China, where mental health awareness and knowledge still needs improvement, she noted.

Rochester students win national awards and fellowships - University of Rochester

PORT NECHES Sai Gelivi, Kaden Allen and Cyrus Bronson have been competing against each other for years so much so, they tied for valedictorian.

And while the final decision was made by a thorough review of every students high school grades, being first in the 2022 Port Neches-Groves High School graduating class remains an honor shared among them.

It started freshman year, Bronson said. I mean I love school, I studied hard, I did my own thing. I think what started it was probably in February they sent us a letter, and I saw first on my paper.

It was a small group of about eight or nine of us, and ever since then it was a competition. Were all still friends. Sophomore year we doubled upnot trying to outdo each other, but outdo each other. It started to dwindle when we started competing more.

And even after the tie was broken, they continued to do so in a friendly way while speaking with Port Arthur Newsmedia.

Personally my hardest class throughout my high school career has been physics, Gelivi said. I think I kept an A-plus in every single class except physics. Its still a good grade, but its just scary. That class challenges me to the extreme.

Allen made the group laugh by following her statement with, Im doing great. I took physics last year. Im just cruising through this year.

From left: Cyrus Bronson will be attending Louisiana State University. Sai Gelivi and Kaden Allen will both be at University of Texas at Austin.

Future plans

Following graduation May 25, Allen and Gelivi will leave for the University of Texas at Austin, while Bronson will be attending Louisiana State University.

All three will be ultimately enter the medical field.

I want to become a doctor and specialize in endocrinology, said Gelivi, who plans to major in biochemistry. I think we could use more of them.

Bronson will also be studying biochemistry, and Allens ultimate goal is to be a neurosurgeon.

Two of the three will be in school together with other peers, but one will be in a new town.

Im excited to go, Bronson said. I dont really have anyone in Baton Rouge. My girlfriend goes to school there, so I know her. Other than that, Im starting out fresh. I dont have any roots over there. So I am happy that it is only 3.5 hours from home. I will definitely be driving home on the weekends sometimes.

However, the senior has gotten a head start on making new friends through social media.

A lot of the time you go on Instagram pages, they have Instagram pages for your school where you can post yourself, people will comment and you can establish a friend group through there, Bronson said. Its just finding people with the same interests. I like to surf, so Ive made a few friends like one who lives in Virginia and loves surfing, as well. Me and him started off, then I found my roommate. We three made a group chat, picked up a few more people from somewhere and now we have a friend group.

Although all three expressed sadness for not being able to see each other and their current peers as much.

Since fifth grade, weve been in the same aligned classes, so weve all been taking (advanced placement) classes and advanced classes as long as we remember, Gelivi said. Getting out of that group will be a whole new atmosphere.

Allen said the people is what hell miss most about high school.

Were probably not going to see each other often, realistically, he explained. Ive gotten so used to seeing the same people for the past eight years. Literally since middle school Ive seen the same people every day, so itll be a real change for sure.

Gelivi has realized how often children need their parents.

I feel like in college were going to realize we took them for granted, and were going to have to figure out everything by ourselves, she said. Its going to be a new environment well have to work hard through.

Breaking the tie

All schools determine a valedictorian, as theyre required by the state to submit that students information for financial aid opportunities. However, prior to 2018, the district only publically recognized the top two percent.

The districts board policy on breaking a tie reads, In case of a tie for recognition as valedictorian and salutatorian in weighted GPAs after calculation to the second decimal place, the District shall calculate an unweighted numerical grade average using grades earned in all eligible courses taken by each student involved in the tie.

If the tie is not broken after applying these methods, the District shall recognize all students involved in the tie as sharing the honor and title.

Gelivi has been named this years valedictorian.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S): This study describes the pattern of failure in patients with biochemical (BCR) recurrence after low-dose-rate (LDR) brachytherapy as a component of definitive treatment for prostate cancer.

METHODS: Patients with BCR after LDR brachytherapy external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) were enrolled on prospective IRB approved advanced imaging protocols. Patients underwent 3T multiparametric MRI (mpMRI); a subset underwent prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-based PET/CT. Pathologic confirmation was obtained unless contraindicated.

RESULTS: Between January 2011 and April 2021, 51 patients with BCR after brachytherapy (n = 36) or brachytherapy + EBRT (n = 15) underwent mpMRI and were included in this analysis. Of 38 patients with available dosimetry, only two had D90<90%. The prostate and seminal vesicles were a site of failure in 66.7% (n = 34) and 39.2% (n = 20), respectively. PET/CT (n = 32 patients) more often identified lesions pelvic lymph nodes (50%; n = 16) and distant metastases (18.8%; n = 6), than mpMRI. Isolated nodal disease (9.8%; n = 5) and distant metastases (n = 1) without local recurrence were uncommon. Recurrence within the prostate was located in the transition zone in 48.5%, central or midline in 45.5%, and anterior in 36.4% of patients.

CONCLUSION: In this cohort of patients with BCR after LDR brachytherapy EBRT, the predominant recurrence pattern was local (prostate seminal vesicles) with frequent occurrence in the anterior prostate and transition zone. mpMRI and PSMA PET/CT provided complementary information to localize sites of recurrence, with PSMA PET/CT often confirming mpMRI findings and identifying occult nodal or distant metastases.

Home / News & Events / Be Open To A Lot of Things: A Brandeis Alums Advice on the Biochemistry & Biophysics Program

August 22, 2022

Sydney Adams | Graduate School of Arts and Sciences

Prior to receiving her PhD in Biochemistry & Biophysics from Brandeis, Karina Herlambang PhD22 studied biochemistry at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where she worked for Brandeis alumnus Michael Cox PhD79 studying DNA repair mechanisms as a research assistant. She explains, I was still not sure what biochemistry was really all about, but, as time went on, my fascination towards all these proteins that made up who we are as a living organism only grew stronger. I knew that I wanted to spend more time doing research, so I decided to pursue a PhD. Cox spoke nothing but great things about Brandeis, and after speaking with other alums at UW Madison, Brandeis immediately became one of her top choices. She says Brandeis collaborative environment and top quality research along with our, close proximity to Boston, which is the biotech hub in the country helped to finalize her decision.

Herlambang says, The Brandeis community is just really wonderful! Everyone is willing to go above and beyond to help each other out. She went on to say, Every interaction that I had with the faculty at Brandeis has been really positive. She singled out Professor Jeff Gelles for particular praise, for playing a major role in my scientific and personal development. She partially credits her experience to the typically small class size at Brandeis which allowed her to get to know everyone pretty well. Her favorite part of the PhD program was the ability to collaborate with other lab groups from different departmentsnot just within Brandeis but also in other institutions. That really helped me to get helpful input and learn other techniques that otherwise I would not have been exposed to.

Herlambang made use of another Brandeis resource to secure her current role at Intellia Therapeutics. Working with the Professional Development team enabled her to receive crucial feedback on my resume and ask for interview tips. She also says that the Professional Development team initiated connections with Brandeis alums that currently work in some of the companies that I was applying for. Thats how I ended up applying to Intellia Therapeutics, she says. Little did I know, one of my interviewers was actually an alum of my lab, so that made the interview less intimidating.

While Herlambang cant share any of the projects she is currently working on at Intellia Therapeutics as a scientist in the RNA technologies group, she credits her time at Brandeis for helping her prepare for her role. Her work focuses on improving mRNA stability to enhance our gene editing platform. Herlambang says the scientific community at Brandeis challenged me to think critically and allowed me to be exposed to different areas of research. She went on to say that her experience at Brandeis, made me realize how important collaboration is and interdisciplinary research is even more evident in industry.

As for advice for students interested in pursuing a degree from Brandeis Biochemistry & Biophysics program, Herlambang says, Be open to a lot of things and start networking early. Exposing yourself to different areas of research or career path right from the beginning should help you figure out what you really want to do afterward. Being a Brandeisian itself is already a huge advantage. You might not be aware of this but you have this large network like the Brandeis alumni connection that you should take advantage of. It might be intimidating at first to reach out, but most people are willing to help.

By earning a college degree this weekend, thousands of Badgers will have achieved something impressive. Many have left a lasting impact on campus, and some have already made a mark far beyond UWMadison. Here are just a few of those accomplished graduates consider them a small subset of the excellence of the Class of Spring 2022.

Von Dickens Abero Ulsa Photo by Renzy Mae Baloran

Before he knew he wanted to be a lawyer, Von Dickens Abero Ulsa was already passionate about one thing: art. The Philippines native, who goes simply by Von, immigrated with his family toHawaiiin 2009. Art became one of the ways he expressed himself, and he went on to win state, national and even international honors. His art career came to a brief halt while he finished his triple bachelors degree in American studies, English, and history at the University ofHawaiiat Manoa, but studying these fields only improved his creative methods. Using history and research, Von distorts western artistic traditions through a lens of decolonization and indigenization. His work has been exhibited in Los Angeles, Seattle, and Honolulu, including a headlining gig at the 2017 Coachella Arts & Music Festival. Von will be graduating from UW Law School with a business law concentration. Check out his work on Instagram and his website.
