The ATP-Bio 2026 Perfect Pitch Competition challenged trainees to explain their research in just 90 seconds using clear, engaging, jargon-free language that highlights its real-world impact. The competition celebrates outstanding research while building the communication skills scientists need to connect with broad audiences, industry, and future collaborators. Congratulations to Maria Londono, who earned 1st Place and the Audience Favorite Award and will represent ATP-Bio at the NSF Engineering Research Centers (ERC) National Perfect Pitch Competition this fall.
Congratulations also to Raphaela Bento (2nd Place), Loïc Van Dieren (3rd Place), and Charles Elder (4th Place).
