In each issue of Standardization News, we provide updates about ASTM International student members, faculty, and other professionals who are helping inspire the next generation of standardization. In the September/October issue, we shared the winners of our graduate scholarships, provided information about student project grant applications, and called for submissions for the Mary R. Norton award.
