Paths to GI Research in the Wild West: Tales From Wyoming

Jason Gigley Gigley at the University of Wyoming. They write about their GI research at a somewhat geographically-isolated institution without a medical school, and provide advice on topics including funding and institutional resources. Pam Tuma, the May Paths and Places columnist, who is also at an institution without a medical school (although located within a research-intense corridor on the East Coast), provided advice on managing time, teaching, and undergraduates, while Dr Ward and colleagues highlight funding and institutional resources. Both columns emphasize the importance of collaborations and networking, although from different perspectives. We hope these two features are helpful to scientists at non-research–intensive schools who, nonetheless, aim to pursue vigorous GI research programs.
