Recent Shout-outs
Mary Lynn Dombrowski (Social Science Research Services)
Social Science Research Services in L&S would like to recognize Mary Lynn Dombrowski (Administrative Assistant III). We are so fortunate to have Mary Lynn (ML) helping us over here in the social sciences, especially helping the directors, staff, and students of both the Center for Demography and Ecology and the Center for Demography of Health and Aging! ML is always so helpful to all our faculty affiliates, staff, students, trainees, postdocs, and visitors, going the extra mile to make sure everyone has a good experience and will go out of her way to be as accommodating as possible. If you ask almost anyone who has come through our research services office, they will probably have good things to say about us and our office thanks much in part to ML’s efforts and all she does for everyone!
Paige Munns and Ashley Nelson (Center for Biomedical Swine Research & Innovation)
The Center for Biomedical Swine Research & Innovation would like to recognize its Research Specialists, Paige Munns and Ashley Nelson for outstanding work! Paige and Ashley have both gone above and beyond in their roles, taking initiatives on projects, increasing efficiency and fostering productive relationships with the researchers we serve. They have received commendations from several of our clients and we’re lucky to have them staffing our procedure team!
Kathryn Fox (UWCCC Flow Cytometry Laboratory)
Kathryn Fox, has been working in the UWCCC Flow Cytometry Laboratory since 2015 and is our Technical Manger. Kathryn spends a lot of time training researchers in Flow, Image, and Spectral Cytometry as well as in cell sorting. She earned her PhD in Cancer Biology in the Sugden Lab here at the Cancer Center in 2011, and worked as a technical applications scientist for Bruker Microscopy before joining the Flow Lab in 2015. Kathryn’s wealth of knowledge and experience has been critical to supporting many research projects utilizing Flow Lab technology. In addition to supporting research on campus, she also supports our core with her excellent organizational skills, for example, overseeing the many complicated steps necessary to installing our newest cell sorter, the BD FCSDiscover S8 with CellView(TM) Technology, now open for use. She is a joy to work with and always willing to help researchers with experimental design, data analysis, and especially loves trying new assays on our instruments. She is also involved in beta testing new instrumentation in our collaboration with ThermoFisher. Kathryn is dedicated to sharing her knowledge, teaching our Introduction to Flow Cytometry class, training new users on our various instruments, as well as teaching the Introduction to Antibody Staining lab and biosafety lecture at the Annual Course in Cytometry.
