    Richard Atkinson Robert Dynes V. Wayne Kennedy Interview conducted by Gary Robbins, Reporter – San Diego Union-Tribune Richard Atkinson Richard C. Atkinson is president emeritus of the University of California and professor emeritus of cognitive science and psychology at the University of California, San Diego. He served as president of the UC system from 1995 to 2003; his tenure was marked by innovative approaches to admissions and outreach, research initiatives to accelerate the University’s contributions to the state’s economy, and a challenge to the country’s most widely used admissions examination—the SAT— that paved the way to major changes in the way millions of America’s youth now are tested for college admissions. Before becoming president he served for fifteen years as chancellor of UC San Diego, where he led that campus’s emergence as one of the leading research universities in the nation. He is a former director of the National Science Foundation, past president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and was a long-term member of the faculty at Stanford University. His research has been concerned with problems of memory and cognition. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Medicine, the National Academy of Education, and the American Philosophical Society. He is the recipient of many honorary degrees, the Vannevar Bush Medal of the National Science Board, and a mountain in Antarctica has been named in his honor.

    NO 1 endeavor — a publication of THE SCRIPPS RESEARCH INSTITUTE SPRING 2017 02 LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT 04 MEET YOUR TSRI BOARD 06 PROFILE: JIN-QUAN YU, MACARTHUR FELLOW 16 TSRI + CALIBR: A NEW BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH PARADIGM 28 ZIKA: A DANGEROUS VIRUS CHALLENGES SCIENTISTS TO WORK QUICKLY 38 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS 39 DONOR APPRECIATION 50 SPOTLIGHT ON: TSRI’S GRADUATE PROGRAM 54 NEWS / HIGHLIGHTS / AWARDS / HONORS 58 LAB NOTES WITH NOBUYOSHI SUTO COVER IMAGE BY MAITE BENITO AGAHNIA, 2017. The cover image represents the idea of connectivity and collaboration through the intersection of lines. The lines are able to stand alone, but when joined with others, create a strong cohesive group, much like the interaction between TSRI and Calibr. The contrast between the light and dark, as well as the varied thickness and angles of the lines represent different areas of focus and strength. When intertwined, the lines create a new, stronger bond. Among the outstanding faculty members highlighted in this issue is Chemistry Professor Jin-Quan Yu, Ph.D., recipient of the 2016 MacArthur Fellowship or “genius” grant (page 6). He is the second TSRI chemist to receive recognition from the MacArthur Foundation. (TSRI Chemistry Professor Phil Baran, Ph.D., received the prize in 2013.) I would also encourage you to explore the Q&A with Nobuyoshi Suto, Ph.D., who, in addition to his role as TSRI assistant professor, neuroscience, is a jazz pianist and composer, with eight albums to his credit (page 58). In addition to underscoring the impact of TSRI’s world-renowned facul- ty, this issue also highlights the impact of our Top 10-ranked Graduate Program, which is celebrating its 25th Commencement Ceremony this month.
