Tania Lupoli was named a 2021 Scialog Fellow by the Research Corporation for Science Advancement and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. The Scialog Program (http://rescorp.org/scialog) selects "highly promising early to mid career scientists that work on the chemistry or biology of the cell or a related research area” to participate in a program to identify and address scientific challenges of global significance. The foundations announced awards of $1,320,000 to nine interdisciplinary teams in the final year of Scialog: Chemical Machinery of the Cell, an initiative launched in 2018 to spark collaborative research that could advance fundamental understanding of chemical machinery and reactions in the intact cell. The 24 individual awards of $55,000 will go to 21 researchers from a variety of institutions in the United States and Canada. Tania was awarded this fellowship as part of a team with Wenjing Wang (University of Michigan) and Stephen Fried (Johns Hopkins University). Congratulations to Wenjing, Stephen and Tania!
