To honor the UMMZ Mammal Division’s Curator and Professor Emeritus Phil Myers’ passion for and contributions to field biology and his commitment to education, Curator and Professor Emeritus James Patton, University of California, Berkeley, gave a generous gift to create the Dr. Phil Myers Endowed Award for Field Research. Dr. Patton’s gift will establish a scholarship for graduate students doing field- or collection-based research associated with the UMMZ or U-M Biological Station, with preference for students studying mammals. Phil was Dr. Patton’s first PhD student at Berkeley.
