UW-Madison Genetics

Genetics Professor and Chair Francisco Pelegri highlighted in On Wisconsin magazine article

Beyond Jurassic Park | On Wisconsin UW researchers preserve animal DNA for species that face extinction.

A big hand for Tom Zinnen who officially retired from hosting Wednesday Nite at the Lab on November 1st.

This was a remarkable seminar series that attracted the attention of scientists and non-scientists alike. A real jewel from UW-Madison to the people of Wisconsin.

Thank you Tom!!

"A message from Tom Zinnen: I am happy to share that I will retire as of the end of the Q&A session following Scott Coyle’s talk on November 1 at Wednesday Nite @ The Lab. The WN@TL series will continue for two additional weeks beyond that. However, the Division of Extension has decided to pull back the 0.75 FTE that has authorized & funded ¾ of my appointment at the Biotech Center since I started on June 1, 1991. This means that the Biotech Center will not be able to replace my position, and therefore WN@TL will go into indefinite hiatus following the November 15 talk."
