In 2020, Genes in Space established the John Hatch Memorial Prize in Mentorship to recognize the outstanding mentors who contribute to our program. The Prize is named for Harvard University PhD candidate and veteran mentor John Hatch who tragically passed away in December 2019.
The Prize comes with a stipend and includes the honor of judging the Genes in Space competition. It was established by the Hatch family with additional support from New England Biolabs. Learn more about Genes in Space mentors at genesinspace.org/mentorship
