2022 Best Paper Award!


October 02, 2023

Earlier this summer I received word that my first publication was selected as the best paper in its journal (Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences) for 2022! This was a proud, but definitely surprising moment for me as a young student.

I was mid-conversation with my lab mate and advisor when I received the email notification that I had won this award. I guess I gasped so dramatically that they thought I had received bad news! The idea that I could win this award for my first publication, written about my undergraduate research, was so out of the realm of anything I'd ever thought could be possible. 

It's not always easy to write papers -- after many many rounds of edits and reviews, it can be hard to remember that your research is interesting to others. I'm glad that my hard work paid off and I will remember this feeling each time I work on a new paper!
