Congratulations to Catie Giske, another one of our 2021-22 GEN-PINC Scholars!! We are so proud of Catie’s hard work and look forward to seeing her continue to excel!!🎊🎊🎉🎉🥳🥳🎈🎈

Quote: “This scholarship, and the help from the professors and mentors, gives me the confidence that I am where I need to be. This scholarship has become another reason for me to keep pushing myself. There has been an amazing amount of unity in this program as well. I am really excited to see how I will be able to apply my knowledge to sustainable research practices using predicting and large DNA banks.”

Happy Tuesday, Gators! We hope you’re having a good week while prepping for finals, here’s a fun fact to refresh your mind today!🧬🔬🧪

We are proud to highlight another amazing and talented scholar from our GEN-PINC cohort, Ingrid Mazariegos!🥳🎊🎉🥳🎊🎉

Quote: “Recently we started learning statistics from a python perspective and soon we will start covering some data science; this is all so interesting because as a bio major, we touch on various disciplines such as biostatistics, biophysics, biochem, so on, and now python is a whole new perspective that I’m applying to biology. This is only the beginning, so I’m a little mind-blown to think of all the other classes that build up and can all be applied to biology too.”

ATTENTION PINC STUDENTS❗️With this semester coming to an end, be sure to check out our list of summer opportunities! For more information, check out the last slide!

Congratulations to Chisom, one of our GEN-PINC Scholars!!! We are incredibly proud of Chisom’s hard work in the PINC program🎉🎈🥳🎊🥳🎈🎉

Quote: “I got an internship with Genentech my first semester in the program. It really is creating a path for me and I am looking forward to learning more coding applications, networking and seeing where it takes me. The scholarship helped alleviate some bills so I could focus more on school. Also, I really appreciate having counsellors I can talk to and they reply fast and give you the best advice.”

Happy Monday, Gators! We hope you enjoy your break and we leave you with this cool new development in Biotechnology!

Huge congratulations to Erica Tate, one of our incredibly talented GEN-PINC scholars!🎉🎉🎊🎊🥳🥳🎉🎉🎈🎈

Happy Monday, gators! Start off the week with some background on Marie Maynard Daly, the first Black woman to earn a PhD in chemistry in the United States.

Congratulations to Elizabeth Mathiasen, one of our GEN-PINC scholars! We are so proud of Elizabeth’s work and commitment to the program!!🎉🎉🥳🥳🎊🎊🎉🎉

Quote: “I love being in the PINC Program. I have gone from being a person who was terrified of coding, to a person who is now able to mentor other PINC students as they begin their journey. It was scary at first to go outside of my discipline (biology), but learning to code has opened up so many more research possibilities for me. I'm in a computational lab now doing an important ecology project that would be impossible without coding.”

Happy National STEM day, gators! The PINC team appreciates and recognizes all of your hard work and efforts!

We are excited to introduce another one of our amazing GEN-PINC Scholars, Jessica Zepeda!! Congratulations, Jessica, we are incredibly proud of you!🎊🎊🥳🥳🎉🎉

Quote: “Being selected for the Gen-PINC scholarship has allowed me to see that my accomplishments have been recognized and I am truly grateful for the opportunities that it may bring to me in the future. The scholarship has also given me that push to keep seeking a career within the biotech industry which has been a dream of mine.”
