Image: An undergraduate student in the department of biochemistry and molecular biology has been awarded Amazing Student status by UGA Today. Trisha Dalapati was recognized by the publication in part because she "immersed herself in everything UGA offers, from volunteering to studying abroad to conducting lab research." She is set to graduate in May with two bachelor's degrees, in biochemistry and molecular biology, and anthropology, as well as with a master's in comparative biomedical sciences (infectious diseases). Among her favorite professors, Dalapati mentioned BMB emeritus professor Claiborne Glover: "Dr. Claiborne Glover is the epitome of an excellent teacher," she told UGA Today. "He is incredibly thoughtful, kind and patient. His passion for biochemistry shows in each lecture. He begins all his lessons with a quote or cartoon to frame the subject within a larger context of life. Dr. Glover is ready to discuss any topic, including art, travel, scientific literacy and career aspirations, and these conversations are the ones I will remember long after I have graduated from UGA." Amazing Students is a feature that each week highlights "a student who has gone above and beyond," according to UGA Today. To read the article on Dalapati, click here.
