Association for Environmental Health & Sciences and Adventus Group recognize future environmental science leaders
The Adventus Group, an international remediation biotechnology enterprise, has rejoined the Association for Environmental Health & Sciences (AEHS) to recognize talented, emerging environmental scientists during the “19th Annual AEHS Meeting and West Coast Conference on Soils, Sediments and Water” held in San Diego.
Two $500 awards were given for the best student presentations from among the diverse participants
during the conference. The presentations were judged by representatives of Adventus Americas Inc. and the Conference Scientific Advisory Board – on the criterion of originality, organization, communication with the audience, research techniques and overall quality of the presentation.
1. Ms. Juliana G. Freitas, from the University of Waterloo, Ontario, won in the platform competition with a work titled “Biodegradation of Hydrocarbons from Sources with Different Ethanol Fractions.”
2. Mr. Chris Griggs, from the U.S. Army Engineering Research Development Center, took the award in the poster competition for a work titled “Solid-Phase Tungsten Speciation by Differential Digestion.”
“AEHS was created to facilitate communication and foster cooperation among professionals concerned with protection and cleanup of the environment,” said Dr. Paul Kostecki, executive director of the AEHS who offered his thoughts on the value of this public and private sector partnership. “Through the generosity of Adventus, this year’s event marks the 5th annual sponsorship of the awards. We believe the Adventus Group Competition is a great way to encourage outstanding students and bring the state-of-the-art information presented here to the next generation.”
“This talented group of internationally diverse young environmentalists all displayed superb thought leadership and presentation skills. Selecting the winning themes was extremely difficult, although the industry will surely be hearing more from these students in years ahead,” said Dr. Alan Seech, CEO of Adventus Group, who worked with the panel of judges to select the winners. “As Adventus continues to develop the next generation of remediation biotechnologies, it is our privilege to showcase the important role a partnership with the academic community and private sector organizations can play. Adventus is committed to continue sponsoring this exciting event, and we salute all the participants – especially our award winners.”
