The National Institute of Science extends condolences to our sister organization, Beta Kappa Chi Scientific Honor Society on the passing of its president, Dr. Douglas DePriest. Dr. DePriest was a major contributor to the success of the joint annual meetings. More recently, he organized and implemented a highly successful town hall meeting on "Food versus Fuel" at the 66th Joint Annual Meeting of the BKX/NIS. Dr. DePriest was exceptionally hard working and respected by all who came to know him. His presence will be missed; however, his example will continue to inspire us.
