Willimam B. Shuler Life Sciences Fellow
William “Bill” Shuler dedicated over 29 years at LLNL to astrophysics, high-energy experimental physics, and strategic weapons design. Following his tragic passing in 2021, his sister, Leslie Blain, established the William B. Shuler Fund for Neurodegenerative Disease Research. While Bill’s legacy is tied to the Lab’s mission, Blain saw this fund as a way to honor him and give back to society.
