John Blischak
John is one of only 278 students nationwide to receive a 2009 Goldwater Scholarship. He plans to pursue graduate study and obtain a Ph.D. in molecular biology. John found the inspiration for his career path through research he undertook at Ohio University with Eric Masson in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. In accepting his Goldwater award, John expresses his gratitude to all who have helped him along the way. “It was a great honor to receive the Goldwater Scholarship,” he notes. “I am appreciative of the preparation I have received from my teachers, family, and classmates over the years.”
“His success is a wonderful feeling to me. His long-term goal is to become a professor at a university where he would conduct biomedical research, and I am very confident that he will succeed brilliantly.”
