Dear Colleagues and Friends:

Members of Bob Metzenberg's family suggest that a fitting memorial to him would be a contribution to the Metzenberg Prize through the Genetics Society of America. Checks should be made out to GSA and have Bob Metzenberg Prize in the memo line. The address is Anne Marie Mahoney, Genetics Society of America, 9650 Rockville Pike, Bethesda, MD 20814.

The Metzenberg Prize was established in 2004 to recognize Bob Metzenberg's contributions to science and to promote the work of others in the spirit of Metzenberg. Bob was strikingly original and creative in his work and extremely generous. The award is given to a Neurospora worker whose innovative achievements or contributions have significantly advanced our understanding of biology. This award is bestowed every two to four years at the International Fungal Genetics Conference.

Thank you.

Neurospora Policy Committee
