Fall 2011

 

Dustin Rubenstein, assistant professor at E3B, just returned from Kenya where he conducted E3B's first ever international field course for undergraduates. Students spent 3 weeks learning to perform field research with renowned scientists from the Mpala field station. In addition to adding this new course to E3B's roster, Dustin was also awarded the 2011 Young Investigator Award by the Animal Behavior Society this year.

Marina Cords, E3B professor, recently had her work on aging rates in primates published in the March 2011 issue of Science. The full article can be viewed here. Additionally, Dr. Cords worked with the same team to produce an article that appeared in the November 30 issue of American Naturalist. Read the press release here.

 

Ruth DeFries, E3B's Denning Professor of Sustainable Development, has been elected fellow of the prestigous American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). Read more in the press release.

Early this year, Dr. DeFries was also recognized in Nature Geoscience for her recent work as part of a large-scale study in urbanization and deforestation. You may see the full article or download the PDF here.
