Professor John Weisz on his receipt of the 2021 Elizabeth Hurlock Beckman Award, which recognizes educators who have inspired their former students to “create an organization which has demonstrably conferred a benefit on the community at large” or “establish on a lasting basis a concept, procedure, or movement of comparable benefit to the community at large.” John is receiving this award based on the creation of two initiatives by his students/trainees: the Shamiri Institute (the Kenya research program started in his lab, which he talked about in this year’s Harvest Day) and the NY State Child & Family Institute (started by a former postdoc in his lab).
