| Description: | Evolutionary Biology: From Molecules to Man The topic of evolution will be highlighted as it coincides with the 200th anniversary of the birth of Charles Darwin and the 150th anniversary of the publication of his seminal work, On the Origin of Species. The 2009 Life Sciences Lifetime Achievement Award will be presented to Dr. James F. Crow, who, like previous recipients - Sir Francis Crick, Sydney Brenner, and Stephen Harrison - has made rigorous and innovative contributions to almost every area of evolutionary biology and population genetics over a career that has lasted more than 50 years. The Life Sciences Lifetime Achievement Award is presented by UC San Diego and Merck & Co. |
