We are sad to share that our President Emerita, the legendary Maxine Singer, died yesterday at 93. Singer's career represented a rare trifecta of excellence in scientific research, leadership, and public advocacy. In 1992, President George H.W. Bush awarded her the National Medal of Science in recognition of “her outstanding scientific accomplishments and her deep concern for the societal responsibility of the scientist.” Learn more about her incredible legacy as a scientist and as a tireless voice for inclusion in STEM education: https://lnkd.in/guP8gwhP
Always one of our favorite Presidents, and a real friend to Plant Biology.
