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 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 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 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!"
