This year we received 6 applications for the Suzanne Hovinga Award from Biopharmaceutical Sciences master students that received an 8.5 or higher for their thesis. The jury agreed that Scott’s thesis, graded a 9.5, was of exceptionally high quality, very well-written with an impressive amount of data and beautiful Figures.
