Overview

MixSS Jane Ellen Simmons SOT Travel Award The SOT Mixtures Specialty Section (MixSS) strongly believes that the future of mixtures research is dependent on today’s students, postdocs, and young investigators. MixSS will host a virtual meeting where students, postdocs, and young investigators will have the opportunity to present projects related to the mixtures field and compete for a cash award to support their travel to the SOT Annual Meeting. The travel award will be conferred in honor and remembrance of our dear colleague, Dr. Jane Ellen Simmons. Jane Ellen deeply cared about the protection of the environment, contributed immensely to the field of mixtures research and risk assessment, and supported young scientists during their career development.
