Two honorable mention awards were given to Christopher Carosino of UC Davis for
"Exposure to Ultrafine Particles During Allergic Sensitization
Yields an Altered Lung Epithelial Structure", and Kou-San Ju also of UC Davis

Posters were evaluated by members of the TSR&TP Executive Committee
for their ability to communicate science to a broad
audience, scientific content, creativity, and visual presentation. Each
