© 2005 International Society for Computational Biology. | Call for 2006 Awards Nominations It’s that time of year again! ISCB is now
seeking nominations for the sixth annual Overton Prize and the fourth
annual Sr. Scientist Accomplishment Award. Please submit your nomination
online at Each award represents the highest level of scientific recognition bestowed upon junior and senior level computational biologists by the ISCB. A highlight of being named to either award is the invitation to present a keynote talk at the Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology (ISMB) conference, being held next in Fortaleza, Ceara, Brazil, August 6-10, 2006. These are international awards, and nominations from all regions are encouraged. Past winners are:
See http://www.iscb.org/overton.shtml and http://www.iscb.org/ssaa.shtml for award details and short biographies on these past winners. Nominations are made through an online submission
form to the ISCB. The ISCB Awards Committee then evaluates each
nominee, researching more about them than perhaps the nomination
form provides, and meeting by teleconference to discuss each nominee
and determine the winner of each award. For the first time ever
the ISCB Awards Committee now includes several past winners of these
awards, which is a welcome move intended to include a jury of one’s
peers in the selection process. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
