The IOBC-NRS is soliciting nominations for the 2010 Distinguished Scientist Award. Nominees must have spent most of their career in the Nearctic Region, and have made significant contributions to biological control, but need not be members of IOBC. Nomination narratives are restricted to one page in length and should contain a thorough but concise summary of the principle contributions of the nominee. The nominator should include the names and current contact information of both nominator and nominee on a separate page. A copy of the nominee’s CV (no page limit) should also be included that provides the nominee’s professional record (i.e., employment affiliations), list of prior awards, description of biological control related activities (in paragraph form), publications lists, and extramural grant record.
This is a major way for our organization to tell key contributors how much their work is appreciated. The recognition of those scientists who have made outstanding contributions to the science and implementation of biological control over extended and illustrious careers is an important function of IOBC. Many members have expressed their enjoyment of seeing colleagues honored with our Distinguished Scientist Award. Help us honor our deserving colleagues!
Please send nominations or questions electronically by May 30, 2010 to the IOBC-NRS President, Les Shipp Les.Shipp@AGR.GC.CA
