This award is the most prestigious graduate award available at the University and provides a stipend of $22,000/year + tuition and benefits for 4 years. In addition, the successful applicant will be awarded the Grinter Award (an additional $2,000 dollars) the first year (to offset moving expenses etc.). We seek applicants to conduct research in my forest pathology research program, starting in fall 2008. The nature of the specific project will depend on individual interests and needs of the program, however, there are many opportunities to engage in cutting-edge forest pathology research in a growing, vibrant program. To be considered for this opportunity, potential awardees must be nominated by April 1, 2008. Thus, interested students are urged to contact me directly a.s.a.p. and provide a letter of research and career interests, a curriculum vitae, unofficial academic transcripts, GRE scores and provide contact information for 3 references no later than March 20, 2008. Due to the competitive nature of this fellowship, minimum combined GRE scores of 1250 and a GPA of 3.8 or higher are required. In addition, a record of independent research and preferably publications will increase the odds for attaining this award. Information about graduate education at School of Forest Resources and the University of Florida can be found at: http://www.sfrc.ufl.edu Please distribute this announcement to all potential applicants. Thank you. Sincerely, Jason Jason A. Smith Assistant Professor of Forest Pathology School of Forest Resources and Conservation University of Florida 134 Newins-Ziegler Hall P.O.

Ed attended Washington State University at Pullman, WA and then moved the short distance to conduct research for the Intermountain Station at Moscow, ID. Several of his scientific interests were the dwarf mistletoes (Arceuthobium), blister rust and associated fungi (Cronartium and Tuberculina). His international experience included research sabbaticals to Europe and Japan. As a research administrator, Ed often represented a strong view coming out of his training and experience in forestry, plant pathology, mycology, and plant geography. Although Ed was usually serious and a critical thinker, he also could appreciate humor. I recall his story of ordering a government surplus paper cutter. He planned using it to trim oversized documents for his file cabinet. He was surprised when it arrived as the single item on a railroad car. This "paper cutter" was built for a pulp and paper mill and capable of trimming rolls 12 feet tall. (See attached file: Wicker.pdf) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ BRIAN W.
