In November 2018, biology graduate students packed a classroom at Tel Aviv University to learn advanced statistical methods from an American expert in the field. MSU quantitative ecologist Elise Zipkin led the session emphasizing how important those methods are to the students’ own research.
On the back of that successful visit, Zipkin has been awarded a Fulbright Senior Scholar Fellowship, which will send her to Israel for four months of research and teaching in 2022. With thousands applying every year, receiving a Fulbright Fellowship is a prestigious honor.
“I am thrilled to see Elise receive this well-deserved recognition,” said Phil Duxbury, dean of the College of Natural Science. “This honor speaks not only to the significant contributions that Dr. Zipkin makes to her field, but also to the importance of collaboration — particularly in addressing global challenges — and training the next generation of scientists to carry on this critical work.”
