Congratulations to this year’s T. H. Huxley Award recipient, Dr. Elizabeth Schultheis! Dr. Schultheis is the Education and Outreach Coordinator for the Kellogg Biological Station Long-Term Ecological Research Program at Michigan State University. She was selected for her collection of educational resources called "Data Nuggets". Data Nuggets, which were developed in collaboration with Dr. Melissa Kjelvik, bring real data and scientific role models into the classroom to build quantitative and critical thinking skills. To learn more about her work, visit the Data Nuggets website.
As part of the award, Dr. Schultheis will receive funding to present her work at the National Association of Biology Teachers (NABT) conference in October.
The T. H. Huxley Award is administered by the T. H. Huxley Award Committee, a subset of the SSE Education and Outreach Committee.
