Biology majors win 3 of 8 university-wide library research awards
This April, three biology majors took home nearly half of the prestigious Winesett Library Research Awards that were selected from undergraduate applications across the university. The Winesett Awards for Library Research “recognize creative and original library research completed by Radford University undergraduate students. The projects and essays by winners and finalists are published in this online journal.” Prize money for the award is supported by the Winesett Endowment. Winners in the undergraduate categories are selected among the lower division (freshmen and sophomores) and upper division (juniors and seniors). Winners are awarded $800 and finalists receive $100. Collectively, our students took home $1000 in library awards.
All award winners submitted publications derived from Dr. Powers’ BIOL 232 (Organismal Biology) course, in which students spend a semester researching an animal of their choice and publishing information on their natural history. These accounts are co-published on the Animal Diversity Web, with links to those publications provided below.
Winners this year included:
- Natalie May (Lower Division, winner) - Hippocampus abdominalis (large seahorse)
- Waitta Jarso (finalist) - Thyroptera tricolor (Spix's disk-winged bat)
- Alexander McVicker (finalist) - Bombus affinis (rusty patched bumble bee)
A sincere congratulations to our finalists and winner!
