SSE, the American Society of Naturalists (ASN), and the Society of Systematic Biologists (SSB) are pleased to announce the recipients of the inaugural Inclusiveness, Diversity, Equity, and Access (IDEA) Award, Dr. Scott Edwards and Dr. Richard Kliman. Dr. Edwards and Dr. Kliman were selected for their steadfast commitment to increasing diversity, equity, and inclusion of underrepresented minorities in evolutionary biology. In 2001, they started the Undergraduate Diversity at Evolution (UDE) program, which still provides funding and mentorship for students to attend the annual Evolution meeting. Since its inception, nearly 250 US and international undergraduates have had the opportunity to participate. Thank you to Dr. Edwards and Dr. Kliman for your commitment and contributions to the community!
