Weekly Wave - Jean McLain Receives Fellowship in the RSA

In early September, WRRC Scientist Jean McLain was awarded a fellowship in the London-based Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures, and Commerce (RSA) - a society of more than 20,000 professionals representing more than 90 countries. Dr. McLain was nominated for a fellowship following her July, 2018 presentation at the University of York - upon hearing about her research in antibiotic resistance, her sponsor felt that Dr. McLain's work supported the RSA mission of "21st Century Enlightenment." For over 260 years, the RSA has influenced British public policy across the political spectrum, through sponsoring public events and engaging in research.
