2016 Comparative and Evolutionary Physiology Winners Announced!!
I am very excited to report this year’s awardees from the Comparative and Evolutionary Physiology Section (CEPS) of the American Physiological Society!
The New Investigator Award is given to a young investigator who has made contributed significantly to the field of comparative and evolutionary physiology. This year’s awardee is Casey Mueller from California State University, San Marcos.

The CEPS Novo Nordisk Travel Award (sponsored by Novo Nordisk) is given to outstanding graduate or undergraduate students who are doing comparative and/or evolutionary physiology research. The students are judged based on abstract submissions of their research that they submitted to the conference. This year’s recipients of the Novo Nordisk Travel Award are Ashley Heim from Colorado State University (top photo) and Joseph Santin from Wright State University (bottom photo).
