Ed Hagen awarded the Evolution in the Public Eye Award

/in ,

HBES Members,

I am thrilled to announce that our HBES President, Ed Hagen, has just been awarded the inaugural Evolution in the Public Eye Award.

The EPE Award honors outstanding contributions to the public understanding of evolutionary perspectives on behavior. These contributions positively impact our perception and understanding of evolutionary science by communicating accurate, evidence-based information and/or exposing and countering misinformation and misleading claims. Through social media, community blogs, academic outreach, or other forms of science communication, honorees have helped foster more informed and nuanced public discourse about evolutionary science. This award recognizes those whose efforts strengthen the bridge between rigorous research and public understanding, helping ensure that evolutionary perspectives are represented accurately in broader societal discussions.

For more information including details on award ceremony and lecture on October 24, please follow this link. And if you are in the Ann Arbor, MI, area, consider attending the lecture!
