The Crustacean Society Award for Excellence in Research
Soon
after its founding, The Crustacean Society established its Award for Research
Excellence. The award is intended
to honor outstanding contributions towards the
furthering of carcinology as a science. The
year, the honoree, and the reason for the award being bestowed are provided
here along with a reference to a printed version (should one exist).
