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