Marko Baloh selects Texas A&M for PhD Program

Congrats to Texas A&M for recruiting Marko Baloh to their PhD program where he intends to continue research in microbiology. Predictably, Marko will probably gain an interest in college football and add the phrase “Gig ’em Aggies!” to his verbal repertoire.
