[Colas Schretter]

Dear Colleagues,

Since MIT Postdoctoral Association announced the Fall 2012 contest for Conference Travel Grants, we have received 26 applications from all disciplines at MIT. After eligibility screening and a committee review, we are pleased to announce the five recipients of Conference Travel Grant for Fall 2012:

- Nozomi Ando, Dept. of Chemistry
- Daosheng Deng, Dept. of Chemical Engineering
- Gabriel Juarez, Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering
- Sephan Rudykh, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering
- Wen Xue, Koch Institute

Each awardee will receive a PDA check in the amount of $400 to compensate the cost of conference traveling. Let's congratulate and wish them a successful presentation of their research at the conference!

This program is made possible by funding from the MIT Postdoctoral Association and the Office of the Vice President for Research. A new call for Conference Travel Grant applications is currently under preparation for the Spring 2013 season and the PDA will soon be ready to accept online submissions until April 1st 2013.
