In my last post<\/a>,\u00a0I shared some thoughts about the value of the President’s Prize at Annual Meetings of the Entomological Society of Canada. This time, with the help of Tyler Wist, I present the names and categories for each of the winners and runners-up.<\/p>\n

I would like to congratulate all of these fine scientists, and invite each of them to share a bit about their work here on the ESC blog.<\/p>\n
