“It has absolutely brought a lot of exposure to me and to my research. I also think it went a long way in helping me to get my current position.”
Allison Cleary, 2015 Grand Prize Winner
“My advice for those thinking about applying for the Science and SciLifeLab Prize is to just go for it! It wasn’t the easiest thing trying to frame my work in a broader context, but in the end, I think it was a very healthy experience. I think everyone could benefit from trying to do that with their work.“
Tim Wang, 2018 Category Winner
“I think it’s really remarkable to have a prize for young researchers because most of the prizes reward people that are established in their fields. And for us, it means a great deal, because we are only launching our careers now, and such a prize is probably going to a be an extreme help.”
Mijo Simunovic, 2017 Category Winner
