HHMI announces the inaugural Freeman Hrabowski Scholars cohort — 31 exceptional early career faculty who have potential to become leaders in their research fields and to create diverse and inclusive lab environments in which everyone can thrive.

In a collection of 11 newly published research papers, genomics further proves its worth by identifying species at risk for extinction, predicting the appearance and performance of a legendary sled dog, and illuminating once-dark corners of evolution and biology. 

HHMI’s new postdoc salary scale increases salaries for 96 percent of the nearly 300 HHMI-employed postdocs working in HHMI Investigator labs across the US. HHMI is also encouraging Investigators to use the new salary scale for all postdocs in their laboratories, including those who are not HHMI employees. To ease the transition, HHMI established a Postdoc Bridge Fund to assist Investigators in increasing their postdocs' salaries.
