We are very happy to announce the winners of the two 2013 Faucett Catalyst Awards.  The Awards, which are meant to stimulate research by C. elegans scientists on problems relating to parasitic nematodes, will be given to Jonathan Hodgkin of Oxford University (Comparing surface coat biochemistry in C. elegans and parasitic nematodes) and Jennifer Watts of Washington State University (Pilot studies to determine if the dietary fatty acid dihomogamma linolenic acid (DGLA) causes sterility in plant-parasitic nematodes). The evaluating committee (Martin Chalfie, Barton Slatko, SusanStrome, and William Sullivan) received twenty thoughtful proposals and narrowing the field to just two winners was very difficult.  The committee hopes to raise additional funds, so that we can have a new competition next year.
