E. Lucy Braun Award – Historical Records Committee

Since 1988, the E. Lucy Braun Award is given annually for the outstanding poster presented at the Annual Meeting of the Society by an undergraduate or graduate student or a person with a doctorate who has defended their thesis within the previous nine months.
Award year terminology in the Bulletin and ESA press releases has varied over the years. In the table below the year shown is the year the poster was presented.
