We are excited to announce the conclusion of our inaugural 91社区 DOM World Class Teams process (see below)! After rigorous and diligent review and scoring of written submissions and oral presentations our panel of external experts has chosen our top three Established and our top three Emerging Teams.
The scoring was remarkably consistent between panel members. The margins between the Top three and Top five were thin. Kudos to the teams for their stellar work and their excellent submissions.
A major outcome of this exercise has been to get DOM scientists thinking about/living team science. Scientific excellence is increasingly becoming a team sport. It was heartening to see the birth of new collaborations kindled by the process. All 20 teams will get detailed feedback on strengths and areas of improvement to enhance their groups. All teams will have a chance to compete again in four years (like the Olympics).
I would like to thank our panel Chair Dr. David Eidelman, panel members Dr. Stephen Archer, Dr. Gareth Lim, Dr. Deborah Siegal, Dr. Shari Baum, Dr. Morag Park, Dr. Micha毛l Chass茅, Dr. Michael Hill, Dr. Stephen Robbins and our AEC team (led by Ferdinand Ochor) for doing such an excellent job of running the competition. -聽Dr. Marc Rodger, 91社区 Department of Medicine Chair
