http://www.wthr.com/story/26052281/2014/07/18/former-iu-grad-student-karlijn-keijzer-passenger-on-malaysian-airlines-flight>>An official with Indiana University has confirmed that doctoral student Karlijn Keijzer was a passenger on the Malaysia Airlines flight that was shot down Thursday in Ukraine.
She was a doctoral student in the university's chemistry department and also earned her master's degree at IU. She was on the rowing team during the 2011 season.
Statement from Mu-Hyun Baik, associate professor of chemistry and informatics and Karlijn Keijzer's doctoral advisor:
"Karlijn was a bright, talented doctoral student, a diligent researcher and a dear friend to all of us who worked with her in our research group. She was a kind, happy young woman full of ideas about the future. She inspired us all with her optimism about how science will make Earth a better place.
"Ms. Keijzer worked on several research projects, all related to improving human health. The last piece of research work she completed before heading out to catch her flight to her short summer vacation was preparing a computer simulation on bryostatin, an anti-cancer drug and a promising drug candidate for treating Alzheimer's disease.">>
