This year, eight graduate and veterinary medicine students from The Ohio State University received the CAST Science Communication Scholarship on Wednesday, October 27, during the CAST Annual Meeting in Columbus, Ohio. The recipients could choose to submit a short video, infographic, or a micro-podcast, as well as submitting a short essay on how their digital media example communicates a component of their research. You can see their submissions here: https://www.cast-science.org/2021-cast-science-communication-scholarship-recipients/
Nicole graduated with her Master’s and Xiaoyi graduated with her PhD in Food Science & Technology. Congratulations to both and good luck with their future endeavors!
Gonzalo Miyagusuku Cruzado presented in the graduate student poster competition at the American Dairy Science Association (ASDA) Virtual Annual Meeting. His project titled “Decarboxylation of hydroxycinnamic acids by lactic acid bacteria strains isolated from dairy products” was awarded second place. The conference took place virtually due to COVID19, but Gonzalo still dressed the part and got the part! Congratulations!
Congratulations to Gonzalo and Monica for publishing their work on “Monitoring hydroxycinnamic acid decarboxylation by lactic acid bacteria using high-throughput UV-Vis spectroscopy,” published in Molecules.
