The Emory National Primate Research Center Field Station in Lawrenceville was the site of our Atlanta Chapter fall education event.  It was a beautiful October day for our outdoor tour of the facility.  We were welcomed by Dr. Paul Johnson, Primate Center Director, who shared interesting background information on the Center.  Dr. Johnson accompanied us on our tour, during which we visited three species of animals – chimpanzees, rhesus macaque monkeys, and sooty mangabey monkeys.  We heard from researchers who conduct behavioral studies with the animals and from the animals’ care and veterinary personnel.  The Emory National Primate Research Center is dedicated to discovering causes, preventions, treatments, and cures to improve human and animal health worldwide.

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 Laura Redmond

"I want to thank you again for supporting my career development, and I look forward to encouraging the development of future scientists as an ARCS Scholar Alum."

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."
