Dear Colleagues,
 

The ISAC Scholars program is designed to enhance the scientific and leadership experiences of emerging leaders in the field of cytometry. The program provides opportunities for leadership training, presentation opportunities, financial support for membership of the Society, as well as other valuable mentoring activities.
 

ISAC Scholars are appointed for five years and receive complimentary membership in the Society, a subscription to Cytometry Part A, complimentary registration to CYTO, and travel funds for the conference. Scholars agree to serve on ISAC committees, submit their work for publication in Cytometry Part A, prepare an annual report on their activities, and continue their ISAC membership when their appointment ends.
 

More than 40 applications were received and evaluated by the ISAC Scholars Review Committee for this year’s class. On behalf of the Review Committee and ISAC Council it is my privilege to announce the induction of eleven (11) new ISAC Scholars:
 

• Rachael Walker - University of Cambridge, UK
