Cosmochemistry Graduate Student Earns Another Award
Resident Grad Student Xin Yang (University of Chicago) just learned that he was awarded the Stephen E. Dwornik Planetary Geoscience Best Graduate Poster Presentation Award by the Planetary Geology Division of the Geological Society of America for his presentation at the 55th Lunar and Planetary Science Conference, held in March at the Woodlands, Texas.
The subject of his poster was “Neon and Helium Isotopic Evidence for the Earliest Solar Cosmic-Ray Irradiation Record in Refractory Oxides.” This honor comes on the heels of Xin’s receipt of a 2023 National Outstanding Self-Funded Student Scholarship from China’s Ministry of Education about a month ago. Xin collaborates with Robert A. Pritzker Curator Philipp Heck in studying the minerals that formed in our Solar System that were the building blocks of the planets.
