Tens of thousands of reservoir and dam systems are being operated in communities across the United States, ensuring access to reliable sources of water. That access, however, isn’t a guarantee. Altered rainfall patterns driven by global warming, increased urbanization, and growing populations are setting up parallel increases in demand for water and energy.

Sustainable approaches to managing these systems are a critical part of the solution. To that end, mechanical engineers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute are developing a better understanding of how water and sediment flow through reservoirs and dams, in the hopes of making that process closer to earth’s natural dynamics. Their work is being supported by a National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) grant.

The American Society for Cell Biology wants to encourage scientists who have exhibited great promise early in their professional journeys with a variety of honorific awards. Below are several awards available to life scientists who are just beginning their careers—from graduate school through the first few years as a new investigator. Applications for all these awards open March 15.
