President Don Boesch gave his last President’s Award for Excellence in Application of Science, an honor he first bestowed in 1999, to Cat Stylinski, senior agent at Appalachian Laboratory.
UMCES' Appalachian Laboratory gave its annual Richard A. Johnson Environmental Education Award to Dr. Charles Hager, who for 17 years has put together a week-long, overnight camp to introduce kids to the many marvels of western Maryland at Carey Run.
"As part of the project we collect stream samples two times per month at four streams in western Maryland... I’ve found during the quiet time while I’m hiking through the woods I come up with new ideas and thoughts regarding possible hypotheses to test with our project."
"I work with an incredible international team that plans and executes some of the most complicated things that humans do—all in the name of science and exploration."
