Kachroo in Lab

University of Kentucky UG Research Experience Spurs Beckman Scholar to Push the Boundaries of Science

By Beckman Foundation Nov 20, 2024

Before Hena Kachroo had even enrolled at the University of Kentucky and discovered its welcoming and warm research environment, she had a model for what it meant to feel valued in a community. Growing up, she'd attended cultural events among the Indian community in Lexington where her family's culture, traditions, and classical dance had collectively made a meaningful impression and created an important sense of belonging and network of support.

University of Kentucky Undergrad Acquires Advanced Skills, Improved Confidence in the Lab

By Beckman Foundation Nov 20, 2024

Growing up in Lexington, Kentucky, Kaitlyn Brock attended Frederick Douglass High School. Research opportunities were limited, as the school opened in 2017. Instead, Brock's earliest exposure to research came from her stepmom, who was a student at the University of Kentucky participating in biology research at the time. Now Brock, and one of her four younger siblings, both attend the University of Kentucky. In 2022, the University of Kentucky was named a Beckman Scholars Program Awardee.
