I wanted to remind students and advisors of our NEW award for undergraduates, graduate students, and postdocs for excellence in Rosaceae research.
The DEADLINE IS DECEMBER 3rd!
There are some excellent students doing excellent research - and we hope to highlight their efforts at our next RosEXEC (U.S. Rosaceae Executive; https://www.rosaceae.org/community/us_rosexec) meeting in San Diego while everyone is there for the Plant and Animal Genome Conference!
As a reminder: Submissions will be judged upon the following criteria: - Novelty of the research - Clear and concise presentation - Ability to have high impact on the current understanding in the field - Current and future applications of the research
Awards will be presented at the U.S. RosEXEC meeting in January 2019 at the Plant and Animal Genome Meeting in San Diego, CA. Award winners do not need to be present to receive the award.
