ESSIC Research Assistant Professor Melissa Kenney has been selected by the Scientific Research Society Sigma Xi as their 2015 Young Investigator Award recipient. The award was established by the Society's Board of Directors in 1996 “to recognize researchers in the early stages of their careers whose outstanding contributions best exemplify the ideals of Sigma Xi.” The award includes an honorarium of $5,000, a commemorative certificate and the opportunity to present the Young Investigator Award Lecture in October at the 2015 Sigma Xi Annual Meeting in Kansas City, Missouri.
