Best Poster Award at OSSD Meeting from Biology of Sex Differences

Starting in 2019, Biology of Sex Differences will be changing their annual publication prize to a best poster prize. The winner will be selected by Editors from the journal at the OSSD annual meeting. This change is being made in order to better highlight and support work being done by some of the younger investigators attending the meeting. Winners will be announced after the meeting and will be featured in an blog post highlighting their work. They will also receive an APC waiver for their next submission to the journal.
