President Simmons’ Academic Enrichment Initiative is now in full swing, with more ongoing faculty searches than at any other time in Brown’s history. EEB has been heavily involved in these exciting developments. We are currently negotiating to bring Dr. Osvaldo Sala of the University of Buenos Aires to Brown to lead the Environmental Change Initiative. Dr. Sala is a charismatic, internationally influential, environmental scientist who works on ecosystem processes in grassland systems and is the Secretary General of SCOPE, the Scientific Committee on the Environment, based in Paris. Dr. Sala would be a great catch for Brown, and his faculty appointment would be in our Department. We are also in the process of getting Brown/EEB faculty appointments for five scientists at the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL), Woods Hole. As the Brown/MBL partnership grows over the next few years, we anticipate many more of these joint appointments and that our new MBL colleagues will add an exciting new dimension to EEB, particularly to our graduate program. Next fall the first four Brown/MBL joint graduate program students arrive on campus. On a more somber note, Ted Goslow recently announced that he was retiring at the end of the semester to be closer to his family on the West Coast. Ted has played a larger-than-life role in pumping life into the human morphology course and building our morphology group. His positive energy and gentle spirit will be sorely missed. We wish him the best as he heads west to tend to his other family. To fill the large shoes left by Ted we are aggressively looking into attracting a senior leader for the morphology group. We are focusing our attention on Dr. Beth Brainerd of U Mass, Amherst. She would be a superb addition. Stay tuned. Our newest faculty members continue to set the pace for us. Molly Przeworski was recently selected to be an Alfred P. Sloan Fellow in Computational Molecular Biology, and Jen Hughes was awarded a prestigious NSF Career Award. Here’s to a great summer.
