Message from Liz Jacobs, our next Director of MMCRI and VP for Research

Hello MMCRI community. I cannot tell you how excited I am to join you as Vice President for Research in September. I know this is a challenging time and I hope you have been able to find ways to care for yourselves, your families and your team members over the last couple of months. I hope that spring is bringing you hope and optimism for returning to our new normal in the near future. I noticed many of you posting photos of spring blooms, so I thought I would share a few from Texas. Cacti in bloom are gorgeous!
