Distinguished Teaching Professor Emeritus Kevin Fox was quick to reach out to us after receiving the Fall 2014 issue of the Statement. He wrote, 鈥淲e are all very proud of Dr. Anny Castilla-Earls accomplishments and wish her well in her impressive research undertaking. I must, however, point she was not the 鈥榝irst person in Fredonia鈥檚 188-year history to earn a coveted NIH grant.鈥 Hers is not the first National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant at Fredonia; in fact, it鈥檚 not even the second! I brought an NIH grant with me when I came to Fredonia in 1970, and I wrote and received a second major NIH research grant after I arrived. My grants funded the research of a considerable number of Biology graduate and undergraduate students鈥︹ To Dr. Fox and the many alumni who were the beneficiaries of NIH funding, our apologies and congratulations.
