2002 Postdoctoral
Scientist Award Winners
The Molecular
Pharmacology Division sponsored a Postdoctoral Scientist Award
at EB 02. Finalists were selected from the submitted abstracts
and applicant's CV's. Each finalist presented their
research findings at the
meeting. Dr. Lee Limbird chaired the session and
presented a talk entitled, "The Joy of Science: Advice to Young
Scientists!" She also presented the winners
with their checks at the divisional mixer. The winner was Yinges
Yigzaw of the University of Tennessee. See pictures of
the presentations and awards HERE.
