AWSM is hosting the 2nd Annual AWSM Awards breakfast on May 17th, 2013 to celebrate National Women’s Health Week. As part of this celebration, female scientists at the Feinstein will be recognized for their strengths in leadership and mentoring, as well as their innovative research and scientific achievements. This year AWSM will honor Dr. Laurie Glimcher, the Stephen and Suzanne Weiss Dean of Weill Cornell Medical College and the Provost for Medical Affairs at Cornell University. Dr. Glimcher will receive the 2013 AWSM Award for Excellence for her scientific advances on transcription factors that regulate immune responses in autoimmune, infectious, and malignant diseases and her strong leadership skills. In addition, AWSM will be awarding Ms. Kalifa Davy the 2013 AWSM Girl Scout scholarship and summer internship award. AWSM has raised funds in collaboration with Robin Ross, the North Shore LIJ Foundation Office, and an AWSM Advisory Committee to support our endeavors.
