Douglas Chalker, professor of biology in Arts & Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis, received a five-year $660,281 collaborative award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to support the ASSET program, an outreach program that incorporates Tetrahymena, a ciliated protozoan, into elementary science.
