Magnuson, the new vice chancellor for research at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, says the most enjoyable part of conducting science is working with graduate students and postdoctoral fellows.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">He explains that graduate students have always been an invaluable component of his research team. He enjoys the student-mentor relationship, and welcomes fresh ideas and research contributions from students.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cThey\u2019re excited, they\u2019re passionate, they like what they\u2019re doing, and that\u2019s what makes our work fun,\u201d Magnuson says. \u201cDoing science is not easy. Ninety percent of what you do doesn\u2019t work. You have to come back and approach it again. So having graduate students and postdocs around me, that\u2019s what makes doing the work pleasurable.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">When Magnuson was recruited to UNC-Chapel Hill in 2000, the distinguished mammalian geneticist brought his 15-member laboratory team\u2014including four graduate students\u2014and 10,000 mice along with him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Initially, Magnuson served as the founding chair of the Department of Genetics and first director of the <a href=\"http:\/\/genomics.web.unc.edu\/\"><span class=\"s2\">Carolina Center for Genome Sciences<\/span><\/a>. Among many other accomplishments, he has since created the Cancer Genetics Program and was elected to the American Academy of Sciences, the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the National Academy of Medicine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Magnuson is enthusiastic about connecting various science disciplines and integrating research across the entire university, which he refers to as research convergence. He says graduate students are the key to these connections and to solving the challenging research questions of the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><span class=\"s3 blue\"><i>\u201cDoing science is not easy. Ninety percent of what you do doesn\u2019t work. You have to come back and approach it again. So having graduate students and postdocs around me, that\u2019s what makes doing the work pleasurable.\u201d<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cGraduate students are the ones who go out to find out who is doing what, and how their work can move a project along,\u201d he says. \u201cThey are the ones who bring labs in disparate fields together, which is how you answer very challenging questions.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Magnuson points out that pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries look to universities to see what research has potential, and depend on the talent that comes from universities such as UNC-Chapel Hill.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Noting that many science careers outside of academia require graduate education, Magnuson also emphasizes the importance of professional training, internships in industry and programs such as the <a href=\"http:\/\/psm.unc.edu\/\"><span class=\"s2\">Professional Science Master\u2019s degrees<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cI think The Graduate School does an outstanding job highlighting and holding workshops for graduate students on the various career paths open and available to them,\u201d he says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Magnuson and the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research are committed to providing the necessary research environment and technology for research, and most importantly, to making cross-departmental connections. He says that his office works closely with The Graduate School to ensure a wide range of training and credentialing opportunities for students.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cOur office is focusing on grand challenges and ideas, and then collecting the appropriate groups of people to get started,\u201d he says. \u201cI believe that puts graduate students in a great position for exciting research opportunities.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">A total of 16 graduate students and 36 postdoctoral fellows have passed through Magnuson\u2019s lab since his arrival at Carolina. The dynamic between Magnuson and students is a shared learning experience, and he says he learns from his students all the time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cThe thing I love the most is when they challenge my ideas,\u201d he says, recalling a time when he told a graduate student to go back to the lab and try again. \u201cI made him go back four or five times until he finally convinced me with all of the data. It led to a completely new discovery that changed the direction of the lab and opened a new field of science. And that\u2019s what you like to see.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image-inline somoverlay\" title=\"Magnuson Timeline\" src=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/genetics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/481\/2017\/10\/magnuson-timeline.png\" alt=\"Magnuson Timeline\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"visualClear\"><em><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Terry Magnuson at Carolina<\/strong><br \/>\nAmong Magnuson\u2019s many distinctions since joining UNC are the following:<\/span><\/em><\/div>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>2000<\/b>\u2013 Joined UNC-Chapel Hill as founding chair of the Department of Genetics and director of the new Carolina Center for Genome Sciences.
