Trainee Awards
One of the major goals of the society is to encourage the development of future researchers in our field, and so we encourage students and post-doctoral fellows to attend the meeting and present their work. As is our tradition, the San-pin Wang Award will be given to the graduate student and post-doctoral fellow with the best oral presentation, while the Jane Raulston Award will be given to the graduate student and post-doctoral fellow with the best poster presentation.

​More information about the Trainee Awards can be found here.
