2024 Education Event at the UrbanTree Cidery

ARCS members spent a wonderful April afternoon learning about the science of cider making – and savoring the handcrafted hard cider - at the UrbanTree Cidery in West Midtown. UrbanTree Cidery is the first farm-to-table cidery in Atlanta, making cider from apples harvested and hand-pressed in North Georgia. The cider is then transported to the UrbanTree Cidery in West Midtown for onsite fermentation, blending, aging, infusion, and carbonation. Each cider recipe has been perfected over time, and ARCS members enjoyed tasting many different flavors, including Original Dry, Barrel-Aged, Blueberry, Lavendar-Lemon, and many others. What could be more enjoyable than connecting with friends through the delicious complexity of science and cider!

Thanks from Alum Collette Miller, Postdoctoral Fellow at US Environmental Protection Agency

"Thank you all for reaching out and the support over the years. It's been a rocky few years following the passing of my doctoral research mentor a few weeks prior to my dissertation defense. Trying to rebound from his loss, finishing my dissertation, and figuring out where to go from there was challenging to say the least ... Thank you again for your support. Honestly I did not know how much I would have ended up relying on the generous gift that the Atlanta Chapter of ARCS Foundation provided when it was first received. However, it was vital in helping me launch a new chapter in my career when I found my plans collapse when my mentor passed. Again, THANK YOU!"

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..."

Thanks from Alum Tim Sampson, Postdoctoral Scholar at Caltech

I am immensely grateful to the ARCS Foundation and Turner Enterprises for making my award possible. I am honored to have been part of the talented and promising group of young researchers from the Atlanta-area!
