Jeanie Lau of the University of California, Riverside has been recognized with a national honor given only to a few outstanding researchers who are beginning their independent research careers. Lau is one of 100 recipients of the Presidential Early Career Awards for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) for the 2008 competition. PECASE represents the highest honor a beginning scientist or engineer can receive in the United States. She and the other PECASE winners will be presented with their awards at a White House ceremony this fall.
