Mary Clutter Leadership in Science Public Service Award

The Mary Clutter Leadership in Science Public Service Award is presented annually by the American Society of Plant Biologists to recognize individuals who have advanced ASPB's mission through significant contributions to public policy and plant science leadership. Recipients are often individuals whose contributions are relevant to plant biology in a broader societal context and need not be plant scientists themselves. The awardee is invited to present a plenary talk at the Plant Biology annual meeting (Plant Biology 2026 in Ottawa for the 2026 recipient).
