Thanks from Alum Eliot Quon, Postdoctoral Researcher at National Renewable Energy Laboratory
ARCS Foundation has been a highlight of my academic career thus far, thank you for the support!
The COVID-19 pandemic continued into 2021, requiring us to continue to hold all our events virtually. The year began with the January General Membership meeting at which our ARCS Atlanta scholar, Kantwon Rogers engaged our members with an informative and entertaining talk on his research involving artificial intelligence in robots and human-robot interaction.
In March, we had an excellent education program entitled “Pracademics amidst Pandemic: RSPH Support of Georgia's COVID-19 Response” by Dr. Allison Chamberlain. Her presentation updated us on the COVID-19 response in Georgia and how the Rollins School of Public Health used their academic talents to assist.
At our Annual Meeting in May, Dr. Beth Cabrera gave her audience valuable tips on how to use our experience during the pandemic to build a better life going forward.
