A shot that keeps a mare from getting pregnant sounds simple. In practice, it is one of the messier problems in wildlife management, where every extra dose means another chase, another dart, another round of stress for an animal that already lives on the move.

More than six years after Tyler Trent showed campus and the world what it means to stand up to cancer, his story still touches the lives of so many. People like Purdue senior Andrew Kinder and cancer researcher Nathaniel Mabe, and everyone at the Purdue research center that bears his name: the Tyler Trent Pediatric Cancer Research Center. It’s part of the Purdue Institute for Cancer Research (PICR), one of the university’s leading research centers.

Inadequate numbers of domestic students in STEM doctorate programs has long been a bottleneck to research excellence and to reindustrialization workforce development in the United States. Domestic students in certain STEM fields have highly compensated industry job offers from the private sector at the time of baccalaureate graduation, and no realistic amount of additional stipends can make doctorate offers financially competitive if the duration of the doctoral path remains long and indefinite.
