The Maureen Keller Student Award for best student presentations at ICHA
Students are the future of the Society, and ISSHA wish to promote their contributions during the ICHA.
The name of this award was given to honor Dr Maureen Keller (1954-1999), from the Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences (USA), for her contribution to the ecology and physiology of harmful algal species and her dedication to laboratory cultures during her short career.
The Maureen Keller Award is given to outstanding graduate student oral and poster communications at the ICHA. Conference participants are chosen in advance to review students' presentations. The evaluations are processed by the ISSHA Awards Committee and awardees are announced during the ICHA closing ceremony.
The presentations are evaluated based on the following criteria:
- Clearly stated hypothesis or objective
- Scientific merit and originality
- Coherence (logical relations of intro, data, conclusions)
- Intelligibility (selection of important points to present, brevity, accuracy, and clarity of expression)
- Presentation (appearance, layout, clarity)
