“God is watching over me,” says Dr. Jitender Dubey, a microbiologist with the Agricultural Research Service, when considering his life of many journeys and perseverance. A resident of Greenbelt since 1982, Dubey was named a finalist in July for this year’s Samuel J. Heyman Service to America medal for his pioneering work of over 30 years in the understanding and control of three pernicious parasites that affect the spectrum of livestock, pets and sometimes humans. His work has saved many lives, both human and animal, and has been a boon to the livestock industry. For more on this story, click here.
