A formal 45 minute talk is followed by questions, with the goal of fostering inter-laboratory communication and community. Speakers should plan to introduce their work for a general audience, and then present a completed research story. The Fieser Fund will provide an honorarium ($200 book award) to the presenters. Nominations in each of five disciplines (Organic, Inorganic, Physical, Chemical Biology, and Materials) have been collected in a first round of voting. The top nominated researchers are now included in a second round of voting to decide the Award recipients. Potential talk titles and abstracts can be found in an attached file. Please review the abstracts and vote of the nominees you believe are most deserving of the Fieser Award. The Fieser Seminar Series showcases some of the best work accomplished by CCB graduate students in a given year. As such, the awarding process is intended to be based on scientific merit, and the voting should be taken seriously. Nominees and awardees are to be congratulated for their excellent science and professional standing within our community. Voting is open until April 13th, 2011 at midnight.
