In September, RSC Chemical Biology announced the winning publication of their 2022 Outstanding Paper Award, which was selected by the journal’s Editorial Board and intended to highlight a publication in RSC Chemical Biology with both strong scientific merits and a large potential future impact on the field as a whole. The winning paper was: “OligoTRAFTACs: A generalizable method for transcription factor degradation,” from Kusal T. G. Samarasinghe, Elvira An, Miriam A. Genuth, Ling Chu, Scott A. Holley, and Craig M. Crews.

To honor the recipients of this award, RSC Chemical Biology is presenting an upcoming webinar at 12:00 PM on Tuesday, November 21st, featuring a presentation from the paper’s corresponding author, Prof. Craig Crews (Yale University), as well as a presentation from Prof. Michelle Arkin (University of California, San Francisco), an Editorial Board Member for RSC Chemical Biology.

This week, Journal of Materials Chemistry announced the winner of the 2023 Lectureship, which honors early career scientists who have made a significant contribution to the fields of materials chemistry. For this year’s award, the Advisory and Editorial Boards of the journal selected Dr. Jovana Milić (University of Fribourg, Switzerland) as the winner.

To learn more about Dr. Milić and to read the journal’s interview with her, check out the Journal of Materials Chemistry blog post.

Additionally, the journal recognized two runners-up for the award, who have also made impressive contributions to the field of materials chemistry as emerging leaders: Dr. Kwabena Bediako (University of California, Berkeley, USA) and Dr Laure Biniek (Institut Charles Sadron, CNRS- Strasbourg, France). Read more about these outstanding researchers on the Journal of Materials Chemistry blog.

Recently, Sensors & Diagnostics announced the winning article of their inaugural 2022 Outstanding Paper Award, which was selected by the journal’s Editorial Board to recognize exception research published in Sensors & Diagnostics during 2022.

This year’s highlighted article is: “Highly sensitive urine glucose detection with graphene field-effect transistors functionalized with electropolymerized nanofilms,” from Gonzalo E. Fenoy (Universidad Nacional de La Plata, Argentina), Waldemar A. Marmisollé (Austrian Institute of Technology, Austria), Wolfgang Knoll (Danube Private University, Austria), and Omar Azzaroni (Universidad Nacional de La Plata, Argentina).

Read the post on the Sensors & Diagnostics blog to learn more about the award, the paper, and the winning team.

To recognize the award, Professor Omar Azzaroni, together with Professor Carlos D. Garcia (Sensors & Diagnostics Associate Editor, Clemson University, USA), will present his latest research in an RSC Desktop Seminar on November 14th at 12:00 PM GMT (7:00 AM EST). The 60 minute webinar will include presentations from both speakers, followed by an opportunity for audience questions.
