Q&A With Former UNC Wrestler, Award-Winning Scientist Michael Hall


During his first few years at UNC, ’76 spent a lot of time in the biology lab, but he also logged many rounds on the mat as a member of the wrestling team. Early training in both arenas, he says, prepared him for a career in science. “I think wrestling is the ultimate competitive sport,” Hall said. “It’s one-on-one, and it has a lot of elements in common with doing science.” (UNC General Alumni Association)
