Congratualtions to senior Neurobiology major Wardah Athar, who was recently awarded the George J. Mitchell scholarship that will support her graduate study next year in either neuroscience or psychology at Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland. The scholarship is named for former Senator George J. Mitchell (D-Maine), who helped broker peace in Northern Ireland, and provides for a year of graduate study at a university in Ireland. Wardah dedicated her undergraduate research to studying neuronal communication, which included working in biology professor Maria Donoghue’s developmental neurobiology lab. She looks forward to continuing her scientific growth abroad.
