Editor’s Note: Via our “Grantee Corner” column, we will update our supporters on the activities of our various grantees. News about their publications and presentations, the completion of their final reports/deliverables to TIRF, awards they may receive, and so on will be highlighted from time to time in Grantee Corner. We encourage our awardees to get in touch with us to share their accomplishments, so that we may let our supporters and donors know what they have achieved.
