HEI 2023 Jane Warren Award winners

2023

HEI is excited to showcase the work of the 2023 Jane Warren Conference Award winners at HEI’s Annual Conference to be held Sunday, April 30th, through Tuesday, May 2nd, at the Renaissance Boston Waterfront Hotel in Boston, Massachusetts.   

The winners of the 2023 Jane Warren award were selected from a prestigious group of applicants from institutions across North America. The applicants were required to submit abstracts on research pertinent to the interests of HEI for the opportunity to present a poster and lightning talk. As in previous years, three winners were selected from local institutions and three of the winners were invited from a general pool of applicants. 

The award is presented in remembrance of Dr. Jane Warren who joined HEI in the 1980s and served as the Director of Science from 1999 until her retirement in 2008.
