Happy birthday Mark!

Today, the UWMSTPblog wishes an extremely happy birthday to a much-beloved director! 

The UWMSTPblog notes that, in a rare act of good taste, we will not celebrate your birthday with an oncology-themed video or cake.  Please enjoy this adorable doggy video instead!

UW MSTP Interview Weekend Part 2 Starts Tomorrow

It's the first week of December, which means it's time for the second interview weekend for this cycle of UW MSTP admissions! Another set of sixteen bright and eager recruits start trickling in to Madison tomorrow to spend some time with current UW MSTP students, staff, and faculty over the next couple days. 

As always we'll hope everyone comes prepared to have a good time. Weekend highlights will include meals around town with current students, a UW hockey game or the Madison Symphony Orchestra Christmas concert, a tour of a local brewery, and a much shorter tour of our hospital and HSLC facilities. Oh yes, and also those pesky interviews. At least we won't make you wear a suit! 

Looking forward to meeting everyone for a weekend of fun. Get excited!

Happy birthday Brendan!

Happy birthday!  The UWMSTPblog regretfully admits that no good mitochondria cake pictures exist.  As a substitute present  on this auspicious day, the UWMSTPblog would like to give you a gift idea for your lovely wife. 

(She'll love it.  We swear.)
