Andy Knoll awarded the International Prize for Biology
August 31, 2018
We are delighted to announce that Professor Andy Knoll has been selected as this year’s recipient of the Internation Prize for Biology by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science. The International Prize for Biology was instituted in April of 1985 by the Committee on the International Prize for Biology. It aims to commemorate the sixty-year reign of Emperor Showa and his longtime devotion to biological research and also to offer tribute to His Majesty the Emperor Emeritus, who has strived over many years to advance the study taxonomy of gobioid fishes while contributing continuously to the developing of this Prize. The award ceremony is held every year. Andy will receive the award in Tokyo this November in the presence of the Emperor and Empress of Japan. Please join us in congratulating Andy on this most prestigious and well-deserved honor.
