President Barack Obama named Dr. Claudia R. Valeggia, who conducted her PhD research at the California National Primate Research Center, as one of 94 recipients of the Presidential Early Career Awards for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE), the highest honor bestowed by the United States government on science and engineering professionals in the early stages of their independent research careers. Valeggia's work is primarily concerned with the interactions between human reproductive biology and the ecological and cultural context in which it develops.
