In Short: Newsworthy People and Performances

Vicki Losick, a scientist at MDI Biological Laboratory in Bar Harbor, was named the inaugural recipient of an award from the William Procter Scientific Innovation Fund, which will support her research on age-related macular degeneration, a leading cause of vision loss in older people. The fund provides up to $50,000 annually to support high risk/high impact research, basic research with potential for commercialization and education programs focused on translating discoveries into commercial applications.
