ANNOUNCEMENTS

Applications for 2008 AIBS Emerging Public Policy Leader
Award now available
The American Institute of Biological Sciences announced that applications
for the 2008 AIBS Emerging Public Policy Leader Award (EPPLA) are now
available. The EPPLA was established by AIBS in 2003 as a way to
recognize and further the science policy interests of graduate students in the
biological sciences and science education. In the recent past Cornell students
have won this award: Madhura Kulkarni, a doctoral candidate in
biogeochemistry and environmental biocomplexity in 2006, and Karen Deen
Laughlin, a doctoral candidate in ecology and evolutionary biology in 2005.
Read more on the CfE website. Applications are available on the AIBS
website.
