TORONTO, May 7, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — For his pioneering research into critical aspects of female reproductive health, Allan C. Spradling, Ph.D., of the Carnegie Institution for Science has received the 2018 March of Dimes and Richard B. Johnston, Jr. MD Prize in Developmental Biology.

March of Dimes Foundation Logo

Dr. Spradling, who is a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator since 1988, is one of the world’s leading embryologists. He is best known for his pioneering work in characterizing the first stem cell “niche” – the special microenvironments within tissues that maintain and control stem cells. He and his team have also identified conserved genes, cells and mechanisms that act at multiple steps during female reproduction and are involved in both health and disease.

“Dr. Spradling’s groundbreaking work is not only crucial for understanding the basic science of early egg cell and embryo development, it also has exciting implications for the future,” says Stacey D. Stewart, president of March of Dimes. “We can foresee a day when this research makes it possible for more women who want to have a baby to become moms, and to go on to have healthy pregnancies and healthy families.”

A native of Kalamazoo, Michigan, Dr. Spradling studied mathematics and physics at the University of Chicago. He then studied biology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he earned his PhD. He did postdoctoral work at Indiana University before joining the faculty at Carnegie Institution’s Department of Embryology, located on the Johns Hopkins University Homewood campus in Baltimore, Maryland. He served as Director of the Department of Embryology for more than 20 years, beginning in 1994. Dr. Spradling is a member of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS). He has been the President of the Genetics Society of America and of the Society of Developmental Biology. He has received multiple awards, including an honorary PhD from the University of Chicago.

He will deliver the 23rd annual March of Dimes Prize Lecture, “Using the Power of Evolution to Understand and Improve Female Reproductive Health” today at the Toronto Convention Center during the 2018 Pediatric Academy Societies annual meeting. He will receive the Prize at a ceremony this evening emceed by CBS sportscaster Greg Gumbel, a former member of the March of Dimes national Honorary Board of Trustees.

The March of Dimes and Richard B. Johnston, Jr., MD Prize in Developmental Biology is awarded annually to an outstanding scientist who has profoundly advanced the science that underlies our understanding of prenatal development and pregnancy.  Shortly before Dr. Jonas Salk’s death in 1995, the March of Dimes created this Prize as a tribute to him.  Since 1996, the Prize has been awarded 22 times, nine times to a single individual and 13 times to a dyad working in the same area. A large number of recipients have subsequently garnered or previously earned other major prizes, including the Nobel Prize.

Under Armour and Misty Copeland Launch the Misty Copeland Signature Collection, Celebrating Strength and Style

Under Armour, Inc. Logo

BALTIMORE, May 3, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Today, four years into her partnership with the athletic performance brand, Under Armour and Misty Copeland launch her revolutionary Signature Collection. Co-designed with the principal ballerina, the Misty Copeland Signature Collection embodies a stylistic story of poise and power, and is rooted in performance, which is synonymous with the Under Armour brand.

Under Armour, Inc. Logo

The Misty Copeland Signature Collection was created with versatility in mind without compromising performance. The apparel was built on the foundation that while Misty is an athlete, she has an effortless, elevated feminine look outside of the studio where she’s able to express herself. Through hand-drawn sketches, inspiration and conversation, Misty’s vision of achieving an elegant and feminine, yet strong line came to fruition.

“Under Armour helped my vision become a reality and I’m so excited to share this collection with women everywhere. I wanted a line where we could feel fierce in the gym, and at the same time, feel confident wearing the same look out to dinner, running errands or living our everyday lives,” said Copeland. “As someone that appreciates style and fashion as much as I do, it has been a dream come true to be so intimately involved in the design process. I wanted to showcase the versatility of my own personal style, and together with Under Armour, we are bringing a beautiful collection to life.”

The Misty Copeland Signature Collection ranges from leggings and work out tanks, to bodysuits and trench coats. From the beginning, it was Misty’s priority to highlight the strength of a woman’s body in her collection, resulting in structured pieces that highlight curves while still feeling delicate. For example, she incorporated a feminine trend like lace and put it through a performance lens to make it feel modern and fresh in a bodysuit silhouette.

“We feel strongly that women should look and feel great in their clothing, and Misty’s Signature Collection truly embodies that, complete with feminine cuts and gorgeous fabrics,” said Morgan Goerke, General Manager of Women’s at Under Armour. “Under Armour celebrates the power of women, and Misty is the epitome of a powerful woman with the poise, command and grace she carries with her on and off the stage. Misty’s passion for lifting women up perfectly aligns with Under Armour’s platform and the result is this beautiful, collaborative collection.”

All of the pieces from the Misty Copeland Signature Collection have the ability to stand on their own or be paired together. Classic Under Armour cuts and technology are incorporated into each piece, making them durable, innovative and flattering. The collection uses UA Breathelux fabric, which is wicking with a silky smooth, lightweight finish, and several pieces have a perforated lace pattern for additional ventilation and subtle style. The collection pieces range from $60$550 and include unique items such as the Misty Copeland Signature trench coat, a leather bomber jacket, a dress with a detachable bodysuit, a matching lace crop top and legging set, and more.

The Misty Copeland Signature Collection will be available for purchase on UA.com/Misty-Copeland-Collection, in Under Armour Brand Houses, and in select Macy’s locations.

We’re thrilled to be partners with Remezcla, an innovative and influential media brand, in providing rich and actionable insights to activate this underrepresented community.”

Remezcla and EthniFacts are launching a series of data-supported cultural immersions starting in June in New York, Los Angeles, and Dallas to preview key pillars driving the partnership. To secure an invitation or for more information, email [email protected].
