Congratulations to Howard Ho on winning the GUPPIE award at the Thousand Islands Meeting 2025

In a historic first for Toronto research, the prestigious GUPPIE award has finally come home!

After one of the hardest-fought competitions in recent memory—and for the first time in the over 40-year history of both the TIM and Cosawasco meetings—the University of Toronto can proudly claim this coveted honor.

Congratulations to Howard Ho for bringing this distinction to our team!

For aspiring future winners: The secret formula appears to involve more fireworks, dramatic explosions, and 3D spinning animations (preferably accompanied by dramatic drum rolls).
