Our group recently received a couple of awards and other good reasons to celebrate:

PhD student Emily Klonicki received the Outstanding Student Presentation Award for her oral presentation at AGU 2024.

Master student George Vetushko received two awards to conduct research in salt marshes: (1) The Mildred E. Mathias Graduate Student Research Grant from the California Institute for Biodiversity, and (2) the Bloom-Hays Ecological Research Grant from Sea & Sage Audubon.

Our undergraduate students Yuzona Kodo and Sofie Sundberg received the EPSS Undergraduate Research Award made possible by the Deane Oberste-Lehn Scholarship to support their undergraduate research.

I myself was honored with a Corresponding Membership at the Göttingen Academy of Sciences, Germany’s oldest scientific academy, established in 1751 (more here), and a nomination for the 2025 Faculty Excellence in Graduate Student Mentoring Award.

Cheers to everyone!
