Linda K. Meadows

The Ohio State University

For showcasing Sigma Xi as a bright light and noble voice for scientific research in many venues during an unparalleled service progression as chapter president, region director, society president and executive director

Quote

"To me Sigma Xi has always been the standard bearer of a quintessential code of ethics for how research is conducted, for how scientific discourse is elevated, for how all members of the scientific community are esteemed, and for how science is served by its ambassadors. Membership is a moment of applause for individuals but it also inspires all to lift high the scientific endeavor to create a light for all, especially as a beacon for the next generation."
