Yipeng Sui was awarded the American Heart Association (AHA) Atherosclerosis Thrombosis and Vascular Biology (ATVB) Travel Award for Young Investigators. The international meeting will be held in Chicago at the upcoming American Heart Association Scientific Sessions. This award recognizes meritorious work by young investigators in training, encourages participation in the AHA Scientific Sessions, and provides a stipend to help defer travel expenses to present their work at the AHA Scientific Sessions.

Off the top of her head, Kaylee Brown can think of 10 girls at her high school who are pregnant. One of them is her younger brother's age, and he's only 14. But when asked about her priorities, 16-year-old Kaylee doesn't mention dating or boys. Wearing a swing purse and a denim shirt during an appointment with Dr. Hatim Omar at the University of Kentucky Adolescent Care Clinic, Brown talks about assuming a leadership role with her Future Farmers of America chapter, playing on her high school volleyball team and making good grades in her advanced-level classes.
