The Goldwater Scholarship is one of the most prestigious national scholarships in the natural sciences, engineering, and mathematics.  It seeks to identify and support college sophomores and juniors who demonstrate exceptional promise in their respective research fields. Our very own Dallas Fonseca ’18 (Mathematics, Biochemistry) was named a 2017 Barry Goldwater Scholar. 

 According to the Goldwater website, they are seeking individuals with characteristics including:

• Strong commitment to a research career in the natural sciences, mathematics, and engineering
•  Effective display of intellectual intensity in the sciences, mathematics and engineering
• Potential for a significant future contribution to research in their chosen field

 To be eligible, a student must:

• Be a full-time matriculated sophomore or junior
• Intend to pursue a research career
• Have at least a 3.0 GPA
• Be a US Citizen or a permanent resident

 Scholarship Amount: Scholarships of up to $7500 a year are provided to help cover cost associated with tuition, mandatory fees, books, room and board.

 If interested, please contact Te-Wen Lo, our Goldwater Campus Representative

Peter has joined the editorial team as Associate Editor for the Journal Frontiers: Plant Biophysics and Modeling. 

Plant biophysics focuses on the basic physical principles guiding plant development, growth, and physiology, and how these processes lead to well adapted and optimized systems. Plant Biophysics and Modeling aims to publish the best research at the interface of physics, mathematics, and plant biology, and welcomes a wide range of research, both empirical and theoretical in nature, and at all scales of organization — from the molecular to the organismal level. We especially welcome contributions in the area of molecular and cell biophysics, physiology, biomimetics, synthetic biology, quantitative developmental studies, and biomechanics.
