Research Corporation for Science Advancement (RCSA), America's first foundation dedicated wholly to science, announces 24 recipients of its 2019 Cottrell Scholar Awards. These Awards provide $100,000 to each recipient identified as a leader in integrating science teaching and research at a top U.S. research university or a primarily undergraduate institution.

Prof Laura Lopez from the Dept of Astronomy was selected based on her research "Assessing Stellar Feedback in Massive Star-Forming Regions". She is the first person from the department to win this award in its 25 year history, and third person from OSU.
