The Entomological Foundation's 2004 Awards:
This award assists needy students at the graduate or undergraduate level of their education in entomology and related disciplines. The need may be based on physical limitations or economic, minority, or environmental conditions. This annual fellowship was established in tribute to Stanley D. Beck, a notable scientist who pursued his profession despite the effects of a debilitating disease. The amount of this fellowship varies each year; this year it is $1,500.
James Robertson is a
Ph.D. Graduate student in the Department of Entomology at the University of
Georgia. He received his B.S. degree in Zoology with an emphasis in Entomology
from Brigham Young University. His current research involves investigating
phylogenetic relationships among cucujoid lineages with particular emphasis
within the Cerylonid series and its placement relative to the remaining cucujoid
families.
