2019 Herbert Tabor Young Investigator Awards: Call for nominations [Editorials]

We loved meeting the awardees and learning about their research and their careers thus far and hope that this award will stimulate more success in their future.Although it's hard to believe, it is already time to begin our preparations for the 2019 awards, and we need your help! We are seeking nominations from the community to help us identify papers that describe high quality, impactful science that typifies the very best of JBC, regardless of topic or methodology. As in 2018, the awardees will give oral presentations at a Spotlight Session at the annual ASBMB meeting in Orlando in April 2019 and will receive recognition in JBC and ASBMB publications.If you wis...
