Dr. Katherine Dowdell, a postdoctoral fellow in the KRG, has been awarded the National Science Foundation’s Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology (PRFB). This fellowship is only awarded to about 60 people every year and supports postdoctoral fellows in selected areas of the life sciences who focus on broadening participation of underrepresented groups in biology; study the rules governing interactions between genomes, environments and phenotypes; or study plant genomes. This award will be supporting her “Free-Living Amoebae Predation Mechanisms” project. Congratulations Kate!
