  • ARCS San Diego 2023 Scientist of the Year Celebration
    The excitement is growing within the San Diego Chapter of ARCS (Achievement Rewards for College Scientists) as they prepare for their first in-person Scientist of the Year (SOY) Celebration in 4 years. This year’s SOY honoree, Dr. Margaret Leinen, is an award-winning oceanographer and distinguished national and international leader in ocean science, global climate and environmental issues. In 2013, Dr. Leinen was appointed the 11th Director of Scripps Institution of Oceanography. ARCS San Diego invites you to join them for a celebration of science and scientists that is set for Sunday, May 7 (4-8 p.m.) at The Conrad in La Jolla. In addition to honoring Dr. Leinen, they will pay tribute to this year’s ARCS Scholars – all 50 of them – along with distinguished ARCS Scholar alumnus, Dr. Forest Rohwer, a renowned marine microbial ecologist at SDSU. All funds raised at this event will go toward financial awards to support future ARCS Scholars. Through their research, these talented Scholars make outstanding contributions to advance science and keep America competitive on the global stage, which is the ARCS mission. ARCS San Diego has put together an exciting program for its signature event. For program details and to register, please visit here.
