Wig’s lab received a $20,000 fourth-place prize for its work on the first phase of the challenge. “We are excited to share this data with the broader scientific community so that they can join in our efforts toward developing neuroimaging-based markers of Alzheimer’s disease,” Wig said. Slinker and Taylor will receive the award, which includes $5,000, in March at the APS Global Physics Summit in Anaheim, California. Taylor earned the 2018 UT System Regents’ Outstanding Employee Award and the inaugural NSM Dean’s Award for Excellence in 2013. Slinker received a 2014 Regents’ Outstanding Teaching Award and the 2022 Provost’s Award for Faculty Excellence in Undergraduate Research Mentoring.
