Natalie received the Cook Award yesterday from Cornell’s Office of Development and Diversity, which recognizes her “commitment to women’s issues” and her “contribution to changing the climate for women at Cornell.” Natalie’s service as former president of the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Graduate Student Association and current president of Graduate Women in Science enabled her to build relationships and enhance existing collaborations that serve her peers, women and otherwise. The award was presented by Cornell President Martha Pollack. Way to go, Natalie!
