Aaron Lyons is the 2024 recipient of the BSC Trainee Paper Award, for his PRX paper: “Quantifying the properties of nonproductive attempts at thermally activated energy-barrier crossing through direct observation“.
Aarons is a physics PhD student in the group of Dr. Michael Woodside at the University of Alberta. His work demonstrates the value of considering unsuccessful attempts at barrier crossing during biophysical processes such as protein folding.
