“All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree.

2018 has been a prosperous year for federal funding of science research, with spending expected to see its largest increase in more than a decade. It has also been great for Emory Science Advocacy Network (EScAN), a graduate student organization with an aim of communicating and advocating for the importance of scientific research funding.
The DSAC symposium celebrated its fifteenth anniversary on January 23rd of this year. Students had the opportunity to present their research as an oral or poster presentation, as well as being able to submit beautifully captured scientific images.
