LPI Announces Career Development Award Winners
February 15, 2013
The Lunar and Planetary Institute (LPI) is proud to announce the winners of the sixth LPI Career Development Award. The award is given to graduate students who submitted a first-author abstract to the 44th Lunar and Planetary Science Conference (LPSC). The awards are based on a review of the application materials by a panel of planetary scientists, and recipients will receive an $1000.00 travel stipend to help cover their expenses for attending the conference.
The 44th LPSC will be held at The Woodlands Waterway Marriott Hotel & Convention Center in The Woodlands, Texas. Approximately 2000 participants from all over the world are expected to gather for the annual meeting, which has gained the reputation of being the premiere gathering place for lunar and planetary scientists. The meeting provides an invaluable opportunity for students, not only to present their own research, but also to hear and see firsthand the latest-breaking results from other researchers in their field. Opportunities are also provided for students to meet and network with an international group of distinguished researchers.
