For the last few years we have been the proud sponsor of the Sam Drogo Technology in the Classroom Award, which not only recognizes great qualities in instructors such as the courage and vision to innovate in the classroom, but also celebrates the life of a friend and passionate physiology educator with whom we worked for many years. T his year we'd like to congratulate two awardees, Dr. Louise Lexis of La Trobe University, Melbourne, Australia and Dr. Janet Casagrand from the University of Colorado, Boulder, USA.
