Dr. Angelini also received the Cronin Award at the 25th Biennial CERF Conference held in Mobile, AL, on November 4. She was selected due to her significant accomplishments in estuarine science and coastal restoration as well as her mentorship of other early career scientists. The Cronin Award recognizes junior scientists within the first six years of their career.
