Each annual meeting of the Wilson Ornithological Society opens with a plenary by the recipient of that year’s Margaret Morse Nice Medal. We are delighted to announce that this year, the medal winner and lecturer is Dr. Scott Edwards of Harvard University. His plenary lecture will be titled “Linking Micro- and Macroevolution: Exploring divergence, innovation and adaptation in birds.”

Dr. Edwards’s lecture is scheduled for 9am EDT on Wednesday, June 21, and will be available to virtual attendees as well as those joining us for the in-person meeting in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Please join us in congratulating and welcoming Dr. Edwards!
