Prelim Practice

Hello FSHN grad students, with some upcoming defenses and prelims in the department, we’d like to ask you to please attend our first prelim practice for Hannah Heath!

Hannah is a PhD student and is taking her prelim and the topic is: “Examining the impact of chronic stress on tumorigenesis through altered cortisol-glucocorticoid receptor signaling.”  The topics/methods are around health disparities, multi-omics approaches, stress hormones, cancer biology, in vitro, in vivo and clinical patient samples. 

Time and location to be determined.

Revealing our FSHN GSA September Event

Hello FSHN Graduate Students!

The time has come to reveal our new “event” that will run from today, September 9th, 2024, to September 20th, 2024 at 11:59 pm CST. Please join in some friendly competition for the first-ever FSHN GSA Scavenger Hunt!

We have curated a list of 35 clues to take you around the UIUC campus and discover new places, or visit familiar ones. Do it with friends, or fly solo, but the winner will receive a $50 grand prize, and all others will be entered into a raffle to win several other prizes.

The clues, rules, and submission instructions can be found here. Please email us if you have any questions, but please do not ask for clarification of clues. We know that some are challenging but that is a part of the fun!

HAPPY HUNTING!

— Your FSHN GSA Board

FSHN Welcome Back Potluck

Hello FSHN Students and Faculty!

We hope everyone is having a great start to the semester. To celebrate the start of a new semester, please join us next Tuesday, January 30th from 3:30 p.m.-5:00 p.m. for a “Welcome Back” Potluck in Bevier Commons!

Sign up here for food to bring. The goal of the potluck is to bring everyone in the department together, so even if you can’t make or bring food, you are still more than welcome to join!

We will also have boards/paper to make designs for a FSHN tshirts/sweaters, so bring your creative energy and ideas if you would like to participate in the activity. 😊

Looking forward to seeing everyone there!
