Laura Nicholson, a Ph.D. candidate at Northern Arizona University’s School of Earth Sciences & Sustainability, received the annual Montgomery Prize for effective science communication at the school’s Graduate Research Symposium in April.
Laura’s winning presentation is titled “Fungal Fears for Food Forests.”
Established in 2009 by former NAU professor and founder of Montgomery & Associates, Dr. Errol “Monte” Montgomery, the annual $2,500 prize demonstrates M&A’s ongoing commitment to promoting excellence in research and communication in the field of hydrology and geology. Lilianna Broussalian, M&A Project Hydrogeologist in our Flagstaff office and an NAU alumna, presented the award to Laura.
