A terminal cancer diagnosis has changed the arc of my career.

I'm winding down the lab, but VERY excited to launch a fundraising campaign to raise money for young scholars to participate in the Research Society on Alcoholism Annual Meeting.

Congratulations to Dr. James Birchler, 2020 recipient of the Barbara McClintock Prize for Plant Genetics & Genome Studies. He is recognized for fundamental contributions to understanding chromosome structure, gene dosage, epigenetics, and for creating artificial mini-chromosomes.

[MaizeGeneticsCoop @CoopMaize]

Congratulations Dr. Natalia de Leon @ndeleongatti, the 2021 recipient of the MGC Leadership Award, recognizing her impact on formalizing the MGC, leading large, cross-functional research initiatives, and her advocacy for underrepresented individuals and groups.
