DR. CARL ARONSON, assistant professor of chemistry at Kettering University, recently received the Best Poster Award at the annual meeting of the Adhesion Society. The $1,000 award and plaque are sponsored by the Michelin Americas Research and Development Corporation.
"The award is intended to reward the recipient for the extra effort it takes to prepare a top caliber presentation. The criteria for the Best Poster Award are:
"For the past 25 years The Adhesion Society has provided a forum to bring together in a single group all of the disciplines which relate to the science of adhesion. The Society fosters communication between researchers in mechanics, synthetic chemistry, surface science, polymer physics, and biology. Being almost equally drawn from industry and academia, it also encourages the exchange of problems and solutions between two groups who share common scientific interests."
- clarity of submitted abstract,
- importance of the work,
- novelty of the work,
- level of completion of the work,
- ability of the presenter to explain the work, and
- ability of the presenter to relate his work to larger issues in adhesion science."
