CME investigators Daniel Martin (Yale) and Samantha Johnson (PNNL) received a team science award at the 2019 EFRC Principal Investigators' Meeting  in Washington, D.C. in July. They were recognized for emphasizing the complementary roles of experiment and theory in their synergistic research on iron electrocatalysts for reduction of oxygen. They summarized their work in a presentation titled "The Effects of Electrostatics on Small Molecule Binding and Catalysis using a Polycationic Iron Porphyrin." Co-authors included Prof. Jim Mayer (Yale) and Simone Raugei (PNNL).
