AIL Member Andrea Bravo is the 2019 ASLO Lindeman Award Recipient

Dear J-AIL members,

It is with great satisfaction that we share with you all that our colleague Andrea Bravo has been awarded by the ASLO RAYMOND L. LINDEMAN AWARD, honoring a young author for an outstanding peer-reviewed, English-language paper in the aquatic sciences for her paper Molecular composition of organic matter controls methylmercury formation in boreal lakes, published in Nature Communications in 2017. 

Quoting ASLO President Michael Pace "The paper by Andrea Bravo and colleagues demonstrates important contrasts in the rates of mercury methylation in lakes and thereby advances understanding of the formation and concentration of this highly toxic form of the metal". You can read here the award announcement. Andrea's work will be presented at the next ASLO Aquatic Sciences Meeting in Puerto Rico, February 2019.

Many congratulations, Andrea!
