August 2024 Reid Adams, Department of Biology, received the Research, Scholarship and Creative Activity Award. The Research, Scholarship and Creative Activity Award recognizes individuals whose contributions to their disciplines have been exemplary. Through original work in research, scholarship or creative activities — such as performances and artistic productions — they have expanded human knowledge, interpreted the human experience or enhanced the quality of our lives.
March 2024 Reid and Ginny were recently invited to attend an event to announce a 3.9 million dollar grant to AGFC from the Department of Interior through their America the Beautiful Challenge grant. The project includes the removal of a dam and three other barriers to aquatic passage. It represents one of the largest stream restoration projects undertaken in the state of Arkansas. We will be conducting the fish biomonitoring portion as well as habitat assessment. There are funds on the grant to support graduate students and undergraduates over a 4 year period.
Ginny spoke at the closed door round table with Deb Haaland (Secretary of the Interior) and told her about the amazing fishes in War Eagle (where the project is focused) and about the importance of grants to support students while they pursue their degrees as well as the importance of training the next generation.
