Description

We are proud to celebrate the induction of Dr. Clare Waterman into the National Academy of Sciences. In addition to her own strength as a scientist, this recognition of her work is in no small part due to the outstanding colleagues with whom she has worked for many years.  The “Watermanfest : Cellular Machines at Work” Symposium will highlight the past and current work being done by these leading scientists, all of whom have co-authored papers with Dr. Waterman in addition to their own seminal work. 

Registration and attendance is free, please register by April 1 to let us know you are coming.
