Dr. Bethany Moore's statement on honor received: "I am incredibly humbled to be named the inaugural Nancy Williams Walls Professor of Microbiology and Immunology and to move her primary appointment to M&I. Dr. Walls was truly a remarkable scientist and first female chair of a department at Georgia Tech. If you don’t know her history, please read her interesting biography below. I love that she donated this professorship to honor "the most wonderful teacher I ever had" who taught Introduction to Microbiology when she was a doctoral student."
