David Johnston, Assistant Professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Harvard University contributed to one of the largest studies of its kind in which Harvard researchers have found that carbon records from the mid-Neoproterozoic era can be read as a faithful snapshot of the surface carbon cycle between 717 and 635 million years ago, a finding that directly challenges a decades-long belief of most scientists.

We are pleased to note that David Johnston has been named a recipient of a 2013 Sloan Research Fellowship.  Quoting from the Sloan Foundation's web page, these fellowships recognize "early-career scientists and scholars who represent the very best that science has to offer. Nominated by their fellow researchers and chosen by a distinguished panel of senior scholars, the Sloan Research Fellows represent the next generation of leaders in the natural sciences, economics, and mathematics."  Please join us in congratulating David on this significant honor!
