Salk Institute for Biological Studies - Be A Good Ancestor

Be A Good Ancestor


Jonas Salk, the founder of the Salk Institute and the celebrated scientist known for his groundbreaking contributions to the development of the polio vaccine, once shared a simple yet profound statement: "Our greatest responsibility is to be good ancestors." This quote encapsulates a timeless truth that speaks to the core of our humanity and our duty to future generations.

As donors, you have the opportunity to embody this responsibility in a meaningful way. Your support, whether directed toward scientific research, education, or community initiatives, has the power to shape a better tomorrow. Just as Salk's dedication to eradicating polio has left a lasting legacy of health and well-being, your contributions can leave a positive imprint on the world for years to come. Embracing Salk's wisdom, we invite you to consider the lasting impact your generosity can have and inspire positive change for the generations that will follow us.
