This year, the
ISCB provided travel awards for graduate students and postdoctoral
researchers to attend the 2002 International Conference on Research
in Computational Molecular Biology (RECOMB), held in Washington
DC. Each was awarded a $500 travel fellowship to help cover the
costs of attending the conference. The selection was based on geographic
origin, field of study, and paper or poster presentation, though
presenting a poster or paper was not a requirement for selection.

Germany; M. Madan Babu, a graduatestudent at the University of Cambridge,
UK; Hilary Booth, a postdoctoral fellow at the Australian National
University; Dana Peer, a graduate student at Hebrew University,
Israel; Tomas Vinar, a graduate student at the University of Waterloo,
Canada; Sven Rahmann, a graduate student at the Max-Planck-Institut
für Molekulare Genetik, Germany; Guang Song, a graduate student
in the Computer Science Department at Texas A&M University,
