My two current undergraduate research assistants, Kuzma Kovzun and Andrew Thomas, will be
graduating in June. I hope to hire one or two new undergraduates to work full-time during the summer and part-time during the following academic
year. I plan to interview candidates for the position(s) sometime in March. If you are interested, please explore this website
to learn more about what I do, and indicate your interest by sending a resume and transcript (an unofficial one is OK) to
crowther@u.washington.edu. |

I will be attending the upcoming annual meeting of the
American Society for Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (November 18-22, Washington DC) along with colleagues Erin Engelson,

via high-throughput enzyme activity assays" (a collaboration between our lab and a GNF
group led by Kelli Kuhen) on Thursday the 19th. |

Today I gave a short talk at a meeting
of scientists and businessmen from Washington and Queensland, which is Washington's
"sister state" in Australia. The talk -- an overview of work in the Van Voorhis lab -- was called
Drug Discovery for Neglected Tropical Diseases.

UW is currently soliciting entries for its
Pocketmedia Film Festival.
With the help of several colleagues and their children, I have made a
short video for this
festival. It is sort of about our malaria research.
