-The 2022 Rosalind Franklin Society (RFS) Awards in Science, recognizing outstanding peer-reviewed research by women and underrepresented minorities in STEM, were released today. The anthology of award winners is available digitally on the Rosalind Franklin Society website as well as in print.
RFS, in partnership with Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., launched this prestigious annual award for the best paper by a woman or under-represented minority in science in each of the publisher's more than 100 peer-reviewed journals with the goal of highlighting the important contributions of these scientists and providing role models and mentors for younger scientists following in their footsteps. A total of $100,000 has been allocated for this year's award winners.
The anthology includes a biography of each winner and an abstract of their selected work, and is a remarkable compendium of research in science, engineering, and medicine that has been accomplished by outstanding investigators who, early in their careers, were not considered "real" scientists, engineers, or medical researchers because they did not fit the stereotypical scientist, engineer, or physician role.
The RFS Awards in Science 2022 was produced with generous support from the Rita Allen Foundation, Lyda Hill Philanthropies, and the Warren Albert Foundation.
