This has been an exciting summer with the Olympics and Paralympics taking place in Paris. These incredible events have showcased the diverse sporting talents of athletes from across the globe. Those excelling at the highest level are awarded medals to reflect their accomplishments. Somewhat tangentially, but correspondingly important in our area of science, we have the upcoming IPEC Foundation’s annual awards ceremony that takes place in parallel with AAPS PharmSci 360 in October. For those unaware of the IPEC Foundation, its purpose is to reward and encourage innovation and research into excipients by recognizing and awarding outstanding scientific experts who are leaders in their field, and provide Graduate Student Scholarships to encourage emerging scientists in their academic studies.
