Announcing the 2010 EOL Rubenstein Fellows!
Congratulations to the 2010 EOL Rubenstein Fellows!
EOL Rubenstein Fellows are selected on the basis of stellar achievement, promise for continued accomplishment, and their ability to catalyze research communities to contribute to EOL. One of the hallmarks of the Fellowship program is the diversity of its participants. This first group of Fellows hails from around the world and their research specialties cover taxa from echinoderms of Panama to spiders of western India to sub-Saharan amphibians. Half of the Fellows will focus on marine species, reflecting EOL’s current theme of marine biodiversity. Successful candidates were chosen from 85 applicants, all of whom proposed valuable research.
For a full list of Fellows, their specialties, and their affiliations please visit our 2010 EOL Fellows page. |
