Lillian and Alex Feir Graduate Student Travel Award in Insect Physiology, Biochemistry, or Molecular Biology

The Lillian and Alex Feir Graduate Student Travel Award recognizes a graduate student working with arthropods on aspects of basic or applied physiology, biochemistry, or molecular biology. The award includes a cash prize (based on earnings from the investment) and a plaque, and the winner presents at the Physiology, Biochemistry and Toxicology Section meeting of the ESA Annual Meeting. Nominees are judged on enthusiasm for attending the meeting, academic credentials, relevance of thesis research, and recommendations.
