Really looking forward to working with everyone this summer. Hope the weather stays cool!
Posted in BSURF 2021, Uncategorized, Week 1
Must be summer! Very excited at the start of another session with BSURF. Great start so far, not the least because of this delightful fellow up in the mountains:
(Pseudotriton ruber, Buncombe County)

The start of BSURF 2018 coincided with a new clutch of corn snake eggs. Hard not to make comparisons – will they hatch successfully? will they thrive? what will they be when they grow up?
Here’s to a great summer!

First hatch today. I’m very excited for the new baby ball pythons.

I’m very happy to announce the first week of the Biological Sciences Undergraduate Research Fellows (BSURF) for 2017! Now in it’s 27th year at Duke (the first 25 as the Howard Hughes Research Fellows), almost 600 Fellows having completed the program run by the Undergraduate Research Support Office of Trinity College of Arts & Sciences.
What was supposed to be a ‘seed’ grant to Trinity College from HHMI was renewed for 6 cycles as the premier undergraduate summer research program at Duke. In 2015, Trinity College assumed the major funding responsibility, with help from the Pratt School of Engineering.
Welcome to the 2017 cohort. Here’s to a great summer!

Hard to believe, but there have been 25 years of Howard Hughes Research Fellows Programs, at Duke, 576 Fellows in total. What was supposed to be a ‘seed’ grant to Trinity College was renewed for 6 cycles as the premier undergraduate summer research program at Duke.
While HHMI still funds undergraduate-education projects at Duke, the summer program for rising sophomores is now growing with full support from Trinity College. I’m looking forward to our 26th year, under the new name – The Biological Sciences Undergraduate Research Fellows (BSURF).
See you in June!

So, what am I most looking forward to this summer? Well, here are two things:
1. Exposure to new ideas and approaches in biology. Some will be things that I didn’t know. And others will convince me that everything I know is wrong! I expect the Research Fellows to astound me on a regular basis.
– Settling my relationship with etoposide. Two summers ago that drug left me bald and beardless. Hmm. This summer I’ll either sing its praises or curse its depravity, deepening on how the scans go. More about that later, but here’s a portrait of the two of us from 2013:

First week – new labs, new people, new routines. Hope it’s a good one!
