2020 IEEE Nuclear and Space Radiation Effects Conference Awards: Comments by the Chair.

It is a long-standing tradition of the IEEE Nuclear and Space Radiation Effects Conference (NSREC) to recognize the Outstanding Conference Paper, the Outstanding Data Workshop Presentation, and the best paper presented and first-authored by an IEEE Student Member. In addition to recognizing authors for particularly high quality and relevant work, the awards process also encourages all authors to produce presentations and manuscripts of high technical quality, clarity of presentation, and significance to the community.
