Nikolai Fedorchak

Nikolai Fedorchak grew up in an Eastern Iowa semi-urban town. At a young age he was fascinated with biology after visiting a local pond with his mom where he would attempt to catch tadpoles. As a nascent adult he attended Iowa State University to learn more about Biology and Psychology. After graduating ISU with his Bachelors, Nikolai briefly attended Clarke University to learn more about physical therapy. He realized that PT was not for him. After leaving university, Nikolai took time to reflect on his experiences. With the support of family and friends he began a new chapter of his life. <a href="https://wid.wisc.edu/people/nikolai-fedorchak/"> [...]</a>

After leaving university, Nikolai took time to reflect on his experiences. With the support of family and friends he began a new chapter of his life. In a visit to a public library he came across a developmental biology book, read it, and took an interest in learning more about developmental neurobiology. In 2016 Nikolai moved to Wisconsin to exercise his scientific curiosity and begin his work with the Ashton Group. When not at lab, he enjoys rock climbing and sharing advancements in science with others.
