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!
ARCS members spent a wonderful April afternoon learning about the science of cider making – and savoring the handcrafted hard cider - at the UrbanTree Cidery in West Midtown. UrbanTree Cidery is the first farm-to-table cidery in Atlanta, making cider from apples harvested and hand-pressed in North Georgia. The cider is then transported to the UrbanTree Cidery in West Midtown for onsite fermentation, blending, aging, infusion, and carbonation. Each cider recipe has been perfected over time, and ARCS members enjoyed tasting many different flavors, including Original Dry, Barrel-Aged, Blueberry, Lavendar-Lemon, and many others. What could be more enjoyable than connecting with friends through the delicious complexity of science and cider!

"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."
"Thank you dearly for your generous contribution to my scientific development. Your contribution has had a profound impact on me at both a personal and professional level. It is a privilege to be an ARCS Scholar, and with this support I will continue to pursue research that aims to advance Neuroscience."
