 Kimberly Larson '04 had no plans to attend graduate school and no concept of what scientific research really meant when she entered Southwestern University. After graduating as Southwestern's 2003-2004 Chemistry Student of the Year, she entered the University of California-Berkeleys Ph.D. program in organic chemistry without cost, thanks to a graduate research fellowship from the National Science Foundation. The fifth NSF fellow in Southwestern's history, Larson aspires to work as a medicinal chemist for a major pharmaceutical company. "I enjoy synthetic chemistry and want to apply it to medicine, developing more potent drugs with fewer side effects," said Larson.
