UG Kelsey Detels wins the Audrey Butvavy Gruss Science Award

Congratulations Kelsey!She won the Audrey Butvavy Gruss Science Award for Juniors/seniors  for the year 2020. Awarded annually to a student who has demonstrated outstanding academic work in any of the sciences and who is a scholarship recipient. This award was established in 1992 by Audrey Butvay Gruss, an alumna of Jackson College. Working in the iBIT lab since last summer, Kelsey has been instrumental in helping with setting up the lab and the cell inventory for the lab. Read more about it here
