Symposium Awards

The Tom Brock Awards acknowledge the accomplishments and promise of outstanding postdoctoral research associates on the basis of the presentations that they make at the ISME Symposium. The criteria will include scientific accomplishments and innovation as well as clarity of presentation at the ISME symposia. Initial selection criteria will be on the basis of submitted abstracts that will be chosen for oral presentations by the organizers. Final evaluation will be made at the meeting, by evaluating the oral presentations of the candidates.
