NCSE is delighted to congratulate Jay Labov on being named as a Honorary Member of the National Association of Biology Teachers.
"Jay has truly been a leader, advocate and major driving force behind numerous initiatives to improve biology education both nationally and internationally," Jane Ellis, president-elect of NABT and chair of the honorary membership committee said in a press release. "We are so pleased to recognize his contributions."
Honorary Membership is the highest award conferred by the NABT, and is given to those members who have "achieved distinction in teaching, research, or service in the biological sciences." NCSE's founder Stanley Weinberg received the honor in 1985 and NCSE's founding executive director Eugenie C. Scott received the honor in 2005.
Labov is Senior Advisor for Education and Communication for the National Research Council and the National Academy of Sciences. He received NCSE's Friend of Darwin award in 2013.
