BRUNSWICK — Bowdoin College’s Benjamin Gorske, an assistant professor of chemistry and biochemistry, recently received a Cottrell College Science Award grant of $35,000.
The award is given by the Research Corp. for Science Advancement, which issued a total of 44 grants this year to early career scientists, primarily in the United States.
The award requires faculty to be in the first three years of a tenure-track appointment, within 12 years of receiving a doctoral degree and have undergraduates involved in all aspects of the research projects.

We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It's a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
