Last weekend's 2022 MolBio Annual Retreat gave students, postdocs, and faculty a chance to hear, see, and discuss research going on across the department, and it was a chance to mingle, dine, and dance with colleagues beyond one's own lab group -- and there were some awards conferred:
DEI Advocacy Award: Luke Soucy, staff and Amari Tankard, graduate student, Devenport and Jimah labs. Recognizing those graduate students, post-docs, faculty and staff who have demonstrated a sustained commitment to the values of diversity, equity, and inclusion by documented efforts above and beyond that of their peers.
Teaching Award: Collin McManus, Petry lab
Teaching Award: Sabrina Solley, Adamson & Toettcher labs
Postdoctoral Researcher Service Award: Moamen Elmassry, Donia lab
Silhavy Award: Venecia Valdez, Petry lab. For the student who has shown outstanding dedication and service to the Graduate Program in Molecular Biology.

Best talk by a graduate student: Abigail Stanton, Hughson lab
Best talk by a postdoctoral researcher: Matthew Johnson, Mallarino lab
Best poster by a graduate student: joint poster by Jeffrey Lee and Moamen Elmassry (postdoc), Donia lab

Congratulations, all!
