We thank the former and current students in the GST program for sharing personal information without which an assessment of the program would be impossible. We thank the GST faculty for all their enthusiastic grassroots support for the program. We thank former GST directors Jeff Becker and Cynthia Peterson for their vision in creating and growing the program and launching it on its subsequent path. We thank the College of Arts and Sciences for financial support. Research in the von Arnim lab is supported by NSF-MCB-1546402 and NSF-IOS-1456988. The sponsor of the study had no role in the design or conduct of the study or in the decision to publish. We thank the NSF and the NIH for their independent yet largely coherent perspectives on the future of postgraduate training in computationally enabled life science.
