Student Spotlight

Acacia Dishman Medical College of Wisconsin Biochemistry Department What has been the most exciting experience of your studies in biophysics?

It’s hard to choose one most exciting moment. Collecting a key piece of NMR data for my most recent manuscript on metamorphic proteins was so exciting that I actually said “Aha!” out loud upon seeing the result. There’s no better feeling than running an experiment and getting a clear result that contributes to a discovery. It has been equally exciting, however, to travel to various conferences and workshops around the country (like the 2020 Bio- physical Society Annual Meeting) and to meet other scientists who share my passion for biophysics.
