The Life Young Researchers Award
Early career researchers who earned a PhD degree within the last five years or a student are eligible to be considered for the Life Young Researchers Award. "Life Young Researchers Award" is sponsored by the evolutionary section of the journal Life, and the winners will be invited to the special issue "Selected Papers from the 2nd AsiaEvo Conference" to publish a paper free of charge.
The
Life Young Researchers Award was awarded to the following two young researchers.
Tyler Philip Linderoth (University of Cambridge)
