Recent ARCS Events

ARCS spring retreat in New Orleans was a wonderful combination of good food, good fellowship and interesting science.  Our focus was the effect of Hurricane Katrina on this historic city, its many issues involved with water, and the efforts to rebuild the man-made elements while protecting the ecology of the area.  Evenings were devoted to cocktails, dinner and jazz.  Everyone agreed that visiting the World War II Museum was one of the highlights of the trip.

Some of our group stayed an extra day and journeyed to LIGO on Monday for a special tour.  Located about 85 miles from NOLA., LIGO is at the cutting edge of physics and astronomy.  Their  collaborators won the 2017 Nobel Prize in physics for the detection of gravitational waves from merging black holes and merging neutron stars.

The work you (ARCS Foundation Atlanta members) have all done is tremendous, and I am so proud to be a part of that legacy.  I hope that my work is making you all feel that there has been a good return on your investment.

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..."
