Ashley Bateman was very excited to be selected as a recipient of the 2014 William R. Sistrom Memorial Scholarship, which carries an award of $1300. The William R. Sistrom Memorial Scholarship was created through the generosity of Dorothy Sistrom. The scholarship was established to recognize biology graduate students who exhibit academic excellence in working with microbiology or a closely related field. She will be able to use the $1300 to pay for a portion of the sequencing costs of the dissertation work she is doing in collaboration with the BioBe center.
