Dear Colleagues, We encourage you to consider nominating the great ecology teachers in your life for the Eugene P. Odum Award for Excellence in Ecology Education. The award, given by the Ecological Society of America (ESA), recognizes an ecologist for outstanding work in ecology education and was generously endowed by, and named for, the distinguished ecologist Eugene P. Odum. Through teaching, outreach, and mentoring activities, recipients of this award have demonstrated their ability to relate basic ecological principles to human affairs. Nominations recognizing achievements in education at the university, K–12, and public levels are all encouraged. ESA especially encourages nominations of candidates from traditionally underrepresented groups, including women and minorities.
Applications are due October 15th. Applicants not selected during their first submission are retained and considered by the awards committee for up to three years. For more information on this award, and others from the Ecological Society of America, please see http://www.esa.org/esa/about/esa-awards/. -- Laurie Anderson (Laurel J. Anderson) Professor of Botany/Microbiology President of the Board of Directors of the Ecological Research as Education Network (EREN) Department of Botany/Microbiology Ohio Wesleyan University Delaware, OH 43015 740-368-3501 ljand...@owu.edu
