Congratulations to Ashish Jain for getting the GPSS Research Award! This is after he already received the Research Excellence Award last semester!

Divyesh Kumar did research in the Tuteja Lab when he was a high school student, over the summer of 2016. He then joined Iowa State University as an undergraduate majoring in Chemical Engineering, and pursued research in the lab of Donald Sakaguchi. Divyesh was recently named a Goldwater scholar, which is the premier undergraduate scholarship in mathematics, natural sciences and engineering in the United States. Congratulations, Divyesh!

Our collaborative paper was published in PNAS today! In this study, a multiomics approach was used to investigate the effects of BPA and BPS exposure on the midgestational mouse placenta. We found that BPS, commonly used as a BPA replacement, could be equally harmful. Congratulations to all authors, and thanks to Cheryl Rosenfeld, who has expertise in understanding endocrine-disrupting chemicals, for including us in this exciting work!
