Professor Allen Keast Research Award |
|
|
This postgraduate student award is made possible through the generosity of Allen Keast, Emeritus Professor of Biology at Queens University, Kingston Ontario, Canada. Professor Keast is arguably Australia’s most influential ornithologist if account is taken of the scope of his research, the number of scientists with whom he has worked, and the part he has played in educating the global ornithological community about Australia’s birds. Professor Keast is a Fellow of the RAOU and was awarded the D. L. Serventy Medal in 1995. His desire to fund a postgraduate award stems from a lifelong passion to encourage and support young ornithologists.
