Over 70 ARCS members and their guests came together for our Annual Membership Meeting on May 8, 2024, at Ansley Golf Club. The fascinating program was put together by Barbara Bazzel and expertly moderated by Bill Liss. It featured three of our current ARCS Scholars, Nicole Hood (Epidemiology – Emory), Tawfik Hussein (Biomedical Engineering – Georgia Tech), and Logan Kavanaugh (Microbiology and Molecular Genetics – Emory), discussing their current research and its relevance to our lives.
The program was followed by our May board meeting. A highlight of the meeting was the recognition of Marcia and John Donnell for their commitment to ARCS and their support of a full scholar award for 25 years. Thank you, Marcia and John!
Thanks from Scholar Kira Newman
"I can only begin to express how grateful I am for the freedom to pursue an independent line of research without having to worry about how I will pay for the necessary lab supplies or training. This award is allowing me to answer broader and more valuable questions than I had previously thought possible... Thank you so much for your kindness, generosity, and belief in my potential as a scientist."
Thanks from Scholar Natale Sciolino
"Thank you dearly for your generous contribution to my scientific development. Your contribution has had a profound impact on me at both a personal and professional level. It is a privilege to be an ARCS Scholar, and with this support I will continue to pursue research that aims to advance Neuroscience."
Thanks from Scholar Kevin Yehl
"I was very fortunate to be selected as one of this year's ARCS scholars... I plan to pursue an academic career in chemistry... Your support will allow me to continue my biomedical research in developing novel strateigies to treat drug resistant cancers and cardiovascular diseases... Again, thank you so much for your support of the sciences and post graduate education, both of which are very important in keeping America competitive..."
