Emily McFadden of the Hargrove lab and Nichole Orench-Rivera of the Kuehn lab were recognized for volunteering their time to make the Department of Biochemistry a better place to learn, do great science, and grow. They've participated in graduate student-sponsored seminar committees; organized recruitment weekends, recruitment outreach, and the Duke Biochemistry Club; represented our graduate students on different university committees; brought science to the Durham community and coordinated our departmental happy hours.
