Congratulations to Kyra Wykes, selected as a Dr Harry W. Edwards Chemistry Memorial Scholar!

"My name is Kyra and I am a Junior majoring in Chemistry and Psychological Science with the W. A. Franke Honors College. Next semester, I will be returning to the Jewett Biochemistry Lab as an undergraduate researcher as well as completing my Honors Thesis on the topic of brain connectivity and its relationship to mental illness. I am looking forward to a research-heavy semester! After graduating, I hope to work as a forensic science technician for a few years before returning to school to pursue a PhD in synthetic organic chemistry. I am still deciding what I want to pursue as a career, but I know I will be happy working in a lab somewhere. Outside of the sciences, I play clarinet in the UA Wind Symphony and am in the club Wildcats C.A.R.E. where we volunteer at animal rescues and sanctuaries!" ~ Kyra
