In the May/June installment of the 2024-25 academic year roundup, we highlight recent funding news affecting the ISB Education team, as well as how our programs have affected students, teachers, and principals.
ISB is deeply saddened to share the passing of Valerie Logan Hood, beloved wife of ISB Co-founder and Professor Dr. Lee Hood. Her lifelong dedication to K-12 education helped create and shape ISB’s programs, and her influence will be felt for generations to come.
Lee Hood co-founded Institute for Systems Biology in 2000, and has served as president of the institution since; on January 1, 2018, he left that role to serve as chief science officer of Providence St. Joseph Health. Here, Hood shares the many lessons he learned from 17 years at the helm of ISB.
