Congratulations to graduate student, Clayton Lynch, for being awarded the Dr. Rich L. Nobel Best Student Presentation at the 34th Annual Meeting of the North Carolina Chapter of the American Fisheries Society in Durham, NC. This honor was extra special as it was presented by Dr. Nobel himself.

“This award means I am headed I’m the right direction with my studies and research,” says Lynch. “It means that I have been accepted into the scientific community as a professional. Winning this award has filled me with the extra confidence and drive to work even harder to become a pillar in the scientific community.”
