ASBMR e-News Weekly: January 21, 2021 Edition

Thank You for Donating to the
ASBMR Fund for Research and Education in 2020!
 

Thank you to all of our members who generously contributed a donation to the ASBMR Fund for Research and Education in 2020. Because of your generosity throughout 2020, we were able to raise over $33,730 in member donations for the Fund!

Of the $33,730, $22,995 was raised during our Year-End Match campaign. We are pleased to announce ASBMR will match the $22,995 raised during our Giving Tuesday and 2020 End of Year fundraising campaigns meaning a total of $56,725 was raised for the Fund in 2020. 

All donations received go directly back to our members through award programs and initiatives. Your continued support enables us to help our future scientists and physician scientists stay in the bone, mineral, and musculoskeletal health field!
 
Stay tuned as we are excited to bring several innovative programs to you in 2021 and thank you for your continued support of the Fund in 2021!

ASBMR Mourns the Passing of Harry K. Genant, M.D.
 

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of ASBMR member Harry K. Genant, M.D. on January 14, 2021. Dr. Genant was the founder and Executive Director of the Osteoporosis and Arthritis Research Group (OARG) in the Department of Radiology at the University of California San Francisco. This group produced field-defining research in imaging for osteoporosis, arthritis, and orthopedics, most notably in non-invasive and quantitative imaging methods. He was a remarkable mentor and trained dozens of fellows worldwide, and today many of his mentees are national and international leaders in bone research in their own right. Dr. Genant was an active member of ASBMR for decades. He served on the seminal ASBMR Atypical Femoral Fracture Task Force and was honored as the ASBMR Louis V. Avioli Lecturer at the Society’s 2012 Annual Meeting.
 
Join us in recognizing Dr. Genant’s contributions to our field by sharing a memory on the ASBMR website.
