A friendly global rivalry between undergraduate biochemistry students at UC Davis and at University College Dublin, Ireland, is being launched in memory of plant biochemist Eric Conn (1923-2017), a UC Davis professor emeritus of molecular and cellular biology and a member of the National Academy of Sciences.
To be called the “UCD vs. UCD Biochemistry Games,” it will be preceded by a preliminary game, the Eric Conn Biochemistry Quizzes, set for 4 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 20, to determine the UC Davis participants. Students (prospective participants) and the public can register at https://tinyurl.com/y33eyc4v. Up to 500 members of the public can register.
