Spotlight: Olivia Guerra receives Stoye Award for Best Student Presentation in Ichthyology
We are pleased to announce that 2nd-year CEB student Olivia Guerra was awarded the prestigious Stoye Award for Best Student Presentation in Ichthyology, a notable achievement for someone so early in their grad career. Olivia’s oral presentation was entitled, "Structure and function of the backbone: Morphology and modeling of neural and haemal spines in burrowing and non-burrowing labrid fishes." She presented her work at this summer’s Joint Meeting of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists.
The American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists is dedicated to the scientific study of fishes, amphibians, and reptiles. The Society focuses on increasing knowledge about these organisms, as part of a global effort to interpret, understand, and conserve the Earth's natural diversity and to contribute to the wise use of natural resources for the long-term benefit of humankind.
The annual Frederick H. Stoye Awards recognize the best student oral presentations in the following categories: General Ichthyology; General Herpetology; Genetics, Development, and Morphology; Ecology and Ethology; Physiology and Physiological Ecology; and Conservation. Stoye presentations are judged by the following criteria: introduction; methods; data analysis and interpretation; conclusions: innovation, originality and scientific significance; presentation; and visual aids or graphic design.
Congratulations, Olivia, on this notable achievement!
