Boston University recently awarded the third annual Anthony Janetos Climate Action Prize to Carly Golden (Molecular & Translational Medicine, CAMED ’27) for her research, in collaboration with Dr. Angie Serrano, Saylor Williams (Serrano Lab Manager), and Greg Miller (CReM Lab Manager), which aims to reduce plastic waste and energy consumption in biomedical research.

The Prize, which includes a financial gift, is awarded annually to the student or team of students involved in a project through BU’s Campus Climate Lab that is judged to have the most substantial impact on advancing the goals of BU’s Climate Action Plan.

The award is named in honor of the late Prof. Tony Janetos, Director of the Frederick S. Pardee Center for the Study of the Longer-Range Future from 2013-2019. Tony chaired the 2017 Climate Action Plan Task Force, which led to the creation of the University-wide Climate Action Plan and the Campus Climate Lab. His leadership in the development and early implementation of the Plan inspired this award as a way to memorialize him and those important efforts.
