McCarthy at the annual Albert Einstein Science Conference, "Advancing Minorities and Women in Science, Engineer- ing, and ; Prof. McCarthy was honored for his outstanding work in climate science and marine biology, as well as his studies of climate change across the Arctic region. Prof. McCarthy is the Alexander Agassiz Professor of Biological Oceanogra- phy and was Director of the MCZ from 1982 to 2002. In June, Jonathan Losos received the 2009 Wilson Naturalist Award from the American Society of Naturalists. The award, established in recognition of Professor Wil- son's lifetime contributions to ecology and evolutionary biology, is given each year to a scholar who has made significant contribu- tions to the knowledge of a particular eco- system or group of organisms. Prof. Losos' work with anole lizards in the West Indies has contributed fundamentally to understanding of the roles of natural selection, competition, and niche evolution in shaping assemblages of Anolis species. Four current and former members of the Losos lab from MCZ and Washington University won the American Society of Naturalists' 2009 Young Investiga- tors' Prizes: Renee Duckworth, Luke Har- mon, Jason Kolbe, and Brian Langerhans. The Young Investigators' Prizes recognize outstanding and promising work by investi- gators who received their doctorates in the three years preceding the award or who are in their final year of graduate school. Scott V. Edwards was elected to the 2009 class of Fellows of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, joining one of the nation's most prestigious honor societies and center for in- dependent policy research. Founded in 1780, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences studies complex and emerging problems and conducts a wide range of inter
