The BioOne Ambassador Award spotlights rising scholars in the biological life sciences. BioOne invited active publishing partners to nominate an early career researcher who published in their journal during 2020. Eligible authors are either graduate students or those who have completed a Ph.D. or other graduate diploma within the past five years. BioOne then invited qualified nominees to submit a 750-word, plain-language essay, answering the question, “How does your research change the world?” This prompt challenged participants to communicate the real-world impact–and reverberations–of the research they do. Each winner receives a $1,000 award and wide dissemination of their research.
BioOne is pleased to showcase this new generation of scholars. We encourage you to read their impactful work. Our hearty congratulations again to the 2021 award winners!
