Anne McNeil, a former graduate student with Dave Collum here at Cornell University, was the only chemist awarded a 2019 Guggenheim Fellowship. She is currently the Arthur F. Thurnau professor of Chemistry and Macromolecular Science and Engineering with the University of Michigan.
According to the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation website, Professor McNeil is "deeply committed to supporting, promoting, and elevating the careers of people from historically underrepresented groups in the field of Chemistry, with numerous initiatives including founding the website Diversify Chemistry, tweeting about diversity and diverse scientists through @DiversifyChem and #365DiversifyChem, and giving public lectures on the challenges of diversifying science and why it’s important."
