Scott<\/p>\n<p>OAKLAND, CA October 8, 2009<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s better than an Oscar. The NCSE&#8217;s Dr. Eugenie Scott has received the  California Academy of Sciences&#8217; highest honor: the Fellows Medal. The  Medal recognizes Dr. Scott&#8217;s &#8220;&#8230;many important contributions to  science, education, and evolution, and for her tireless efforts to  safeguard scientific integrity in public life.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Only 46 Fellows medals have been awarded since 1964. Dr. Scott joins a  select club that includes Dr. Paul Ehrlich (author of The Population  Bomb and dozens of other books and papers about population, the  environment, and public policy); botanist Dr. Peter H. Raven (a key  figure in the study of coevolution); famed evolutionary biologist Dr. G.  Ledyard Stebbins; pioneer anthropologist Dr. F. Clark Howell; and  long-time science journalist David Perlman of the San Francisco Chronicle.<\/p>\n<p>The other 2009 Fellows Medal winner is Darwin scholar and evolutionary  biologist Dr. Michael Ghiselin. Dr. Ghiselin has been a Senior Research  Fellow at the California Academy of Sciences for over 25 years.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This just in: Eugenie Scott, Executive Director of the NCSE, has won the California Academy of Sciences Fellows Medal.
