Congratulations to Dr. Melissa Bates, who was recently awarded the “Caroline tum Suden Professional Opportunity Award” by the American Physiological Society (APS) for her research investigating the ability of beta adrenergic agonists to recruit intrapulmonary arteriovenous shunts, allowing blood to bypass the pulmonary capillaries.
This award provides funds for junior physiologists to attend and participate fully in the APS’s annual Experimental Biology meeting.
