The MIT Superfund Research Program teamed up with the MIT Center for Environmental Health Sciences (CEHS) to offer their first joint poster session on April 10th. Nine SRP trainees showcased their research. For the SRP awards, James Rowe won first place, Maggie He and Lennon Luo shared second place, and Ishwar Kohale won third place. The first place winner was given the opportunity to attend either the National or the Northeast Annual Superfund Meeting. For the CEHS awards, Superfund trainee Dr. Hélène Angot won first place in the postdoctoral category for her poster, “Toxic Pollutants: from Worldwide Atmospheric Emissions to Impacts on Maine Tribal Areas.”
