The Departmental Double Digit Impact Award

The Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology has recently initiated, from 2003 onwards, the "double digit impact award". Namely, the Department will award a bottle of wine to the laboratory who publishes a paper (primary research paper or review) in a journal with an impact factor greater than 10. The laboratory has to have either first or senior authorship. CHEERS
