This week, Army Lieutenant **Ethan Green '15 **was featured on Military.com for his efforts to help the U.S. government develop a vaccine to fight the COVID-19 pandemic.

For the only active-duty military member on the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research team and a doctoral candidate at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, the job fulfills a dream he's had since he was 14: to be an Army microbiologist. 

Said Ethan, ""The nature of what I'm doing, it's an amazing opportunity, and I thank God every day that I'm doing it. It makes me really sad that I have to -- I'd much rather be bored out of my mind in the lab -- but it has filled me with this immense purpose."
