PECASE
Eighteen NASA funded researchers have received the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) from the White House.
The PECASE awards are the highest honor bestowed by the U.S. government on scientists and engineers who are beginning research careers. The award recognizes recipients’ potential in advancing the frontiers of scientific knowledge and their commitment to community service, as demonstrated through professional leadership, education or community outreach.
“These PECASE winners represent some of the brightest early career researchers that NASA supports. They were selected for what they have already accomplished, but more importantly, we expect they will reach even higher goals in the future. They are shinning stars.” Dr. James green, NASA Chief Scientist.
