 Dear graduate students in Life Sciences and Biomedical Research, the scientific research enterprise would not exist without you. Your curiosity about the nature and your desire of understanding the unknown drive the scientific research. During your own training, you already served the roles of researchers and educators. Many of the important discoveries in Life Sciences and Biomedical Research are made by graduate students. You also help to train undergrads and other fellow landmates. Many of you actively participated in outreach activities to disseminate the science, especially to underrepresented minorities and other underserved populations. I had the honor to witness the achievements of a graduate student initiative program called Science Education and Engagement for Kids, or CIC program, which teaches science to middle school students in Ypsilanti. You achieve all these not for lucrative pay or relaxing schedules. You are doing all these because you believe in education and science, because you care about the society and other people. On behalf of my faculty colleagues at the Life Sciences Institute and the Department of Cell and Developmental Biology, I want to thank every graduate student in Life Sciences and Biomedical Research. The world needs you for a bright future.
