Happy birthday Layla B.!

Hope your third year of graduate school is treating you well.  We know it's a tall order, but...

try to have a fantastic birthday, or you will upset this very happy moose. 



And can you really bring yourself to disappoint this cheerful fellow?

MSTP Recruiting -- All Fun All The Time!


The long day of interviews is over, which means today is
Recruitment Weekend Saturday of Fun Times! Applicants
visiting the program this weekend will be spending the day touring 
our HSLC/hospital complex, spending the afternoon at a
local brewery or bowling alley, and ending the evening at
a relaxed dinner party with current UW MSTP directors, students, and 
administrators, including the legendary Paul Cook.

Relax and breathe easy, everyone, all of these events should be stress-free. :]

Three Reasons Why YOU Should Make Sure Not to Miss MSTP Seminar This Evening

1) Sara B. will fill us in on her latest findings in the research world of Alzheimers and neuroimaging.

2) Ryan D. will give a short talk to explain the latest in his work on understanding centrosome amplification in breast cancer.

3) We have some MSTPizza scheduled for seminar today, ordered locally from the amazing Glass Nickel Pizza.

Really, there's not much more you could ask for on a Wednesday evening.
