Due to their amazing efforts, the 2018 University of Illinois team members were published in Nature Magazine, Lab Management Magazine, and the S-Labs Short List. Additionally, Illinois was awarded a plaque for gaining the title of 2018 Organizational Winner.

Our top four labs were awarded gift certificates to high-end dining establishments in the Champaign-Urbana area, as well as Certificates in Leadership in Sustainable Lab Practices.
