<div><b>Dear UC Merced Graduate Students,</b></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><b>RadioBio GradSTORY</b> is a Research Week (March 5–9) event intended to 1) give graduate students a chance to talk about their research, 2) give undergraduates the opportunity to learn about research, and 3) serve as a recruitment opportunity for graduate
students who need help! On Wednesday, March 7th, and Thursday, March 8th, RadioBio will be hosting casual interviews with graduate students in the dining commons. RadioBio is a podcast where UC Merced biology graduate students talk with scientists about the
work they do concerning biological systems, from molecules to ecosystems.</div>
