[IUFRO RG 7.03 FORENT] 2010 George Varley Award winner

Hello Forest Entomology friends, Many of us are already gathered here at the IUFRO World Congress in Seoul and others are preparing for upcoming meetings in Eberswalde and Freiburg in September. But this seems like an appropriate moment to announce that the 2010 George Varley Award for Excellence in Forest Insect Research will be given to Dr. Michael McManus of the USA at the upcoming working party meeting in Eberswalde. We are recognizing McManus for his many accomplishments over his career, including his research on forest insect biology but also his work in facilitating international cooperation, including his work as an IUFRO leader. Previous recipients of this award were Werner Baltensweiler (2007) and William Mattson (2009). If you will not have the opportunity to congratulate Mike at the Eberswalde meeting, you might want to drop him a note at mmcmanus0121(a)comcast.net . -Sandy -- Andrew Liebhold                  http://sandyliebhold.com Northern Research Station   304-285-1512 USDA Forest Service           304-285-1505 FAX 180 Canfield St.                  724-317-8668 mobile Morgantown, WV  26505 USA
