University of Arizona faculty member Margaret Evans named Finalist for 2024 Cozzarelli Prize
WASHINGTON, DC – The Editorial Board of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) has selected six papers published by PNAS in 2024 to receive the Cozzarelli Prize, an award that recognizes outstanding contributions to the scientific disciplines represented by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS).
Papers were chosen from more than 3,200 research articles that appeared in the journal last year and represent the six broadly defined classes under which the NAS is organized. Additionally, the Editorial Board has recognized six papers—one in each class—as finalists for the 2024 Cozzarelli Prize.
The annual Cozzarelli Prize acknowledges papers that reflect scientific excellence and originality. The award was established in 2005 as the Paper of the Year Prize and was renamed in 2007 to honor late PNAS Editor-in-Chief Nicholas R. Cozzarelli. The 2024 awardees will be recognized at an awards ceremony during the NAS Annual Meeting in April 2025.
From the University of Arizona, faculty member Dr. Margaret Evans (as well as Daniel L. Perret and Dov F. Sax) were named Finalists for the Cozzarelli Prize for their research article, A species’ response to spatial climatic variation does not predict its response to climate change
