You heed your professor’s advice to apply for a summer internship. that’s what doug berning attributes as the start of his career at Los alamos national Laboratory in new mexico. he credits John hess, retired professor of biology, for encouraging him to apply for the internship at the University of missouri in radiopharmaceuticals, which, in turn, led to his pursuit of a graduate degree in chemistry. “radiopharmaceutical chemistry turned out to be good for me because it allowed me to use what i had learned from both my undergraduate degrees in biology and chemistry,” he says. the 1991 graduate says his experiences had more hands-on opportunities than most universities offer. “UCm provided a very solid knowledge basis for my education. Because of the low teacher-to-student ratio, the professors can challenge their students in ways logistically impossible at large universities.” Berning explains that he works on a variety of threatreduction and threat-assessment projects, including chemical, radiological and explosives. “i am proud to work with people and at an institution that has such a rich history and impact on national and international decisions,” he says. “from a personal standpoint, i am proud and feel privileged to have worked in a wide range of fields including biomedical, renewable energy, environmental remediation, forensics, emergency response, and global security. i believe my ability to quickly adapt to each of these areas is a strong testament to the broad education that i received at both UCm and UmC.” — By Matt Bird-Meyer ’97 wE waNt yOuR Have you moved?
