The EMGS was founded in 1969 by distinguished scientists Drs. Alexander Hollaender, Joshua Lederberg, James Crow, James Neel, and others to provide a forum to support scientists in the field of environmental mutagenesis.
Today we celebrate π, a constant that reminds us how essential precision, pattern, and curiosity are to scientific discovery. Every calculation, model, and dataset brings us closer to understanding genome integrity and environmental impacts on human health.
