Paula Clogher, research associate at the Yale office of the Connecticut Emerging Infections Program (EIP), won a student award from the Epidemiology Section at the 133rd annual meeting of the American Public Health Association (APHA).
The award was given based on Clogher's abstract that summarized her M.P.H. internship project. The project identified a high rate of laboratory-confirmed influenza hospitalizations and a low rate of influenza vaccination among children between the ages of six months and 23 months, highlighting the importance of the new ACIP recommendation to vaccinate otherwise healthy 6- to 23-month-old children against influenza.
The EIP is a joint effort between the Department of Epidemiology, the State of Connecticut Department of Public Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Roger Howe, the William R. Kenan Jr. Professor of Mathematics, was presented with the 2006 American Mathematical Society Award for Distinguished Public Service at the Joint Mathematics Meetings in San Antonio, Texas.
Howe was honored for his "multifaceted contributions to mathematics and to mathematics education." Presented every two years, this award recognizes a research mathematician who has made a distinguished contribution to the mathematics profession. Howe, a member of the National Academy of Sciences, has assumed a leadership role in national initiatives focused on the teaching of mathematics and the education of teachers. He served on several prominent national panels and committees focusing on the challenge of improving math teaching.
Founded in 1888 to further mathematical research and scholarship, the more than 30,000-member American Mathematical Society fulfills its mission through programs and services that promote mathematical research and its uses, strengthen mathematical education, and foster awareness and appreciation of mathematics and its connections to other disciplines and to everyday life.
Ilya Kliger, assistant professor of Slavic languages and literatures, won the Bernheimer Prize from the American Comparative Literature Association (ACLA) for the best dissertation nominated by a department or program that is an institutional member of the ACLA.
