Dr. Waldeck will indeed be deeply missed. We initially connected through our involvement in the Pittsburgh ACS, and he served on my doctoral thesis committee. He was kind and genuinely interested in my scientific work and professional development. Thinking of his family, colleagues, and lab group.
Congratulations to Alysia Mandato (Ph.D 2025) for receiving the Pittsburgh Section of the American Chemical Society Distinguished Service Award. The award recognizes outstanding volunteer service to the local ACS section.
I have learned that the directors of ALL: PREP, IMSD, and IRACDA programs across the country have received similar cancelation notices. This follows previous cancellations of MARC and URISE programs. This further dismantles the mechanisms that enable scientific training opportunities for SO MANY.
Just sharing the same feelings... The only update I have is the webpage with the participating institutions has been removed.
Good thought... I was possibly planning to apply for IRACDA fellowships this cycle, so I'm not sure what to do now.
