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.

ARCS Foundation has been a highlight of my academic career thus far, thank you for the support!

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 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."
