BioEYES: 2018 Elizabeth W. Jones Award for Excellence in Education.

The Genetics Society of America's Elizabeth W. Jones Award for Excellence in Education honors individuals who have made a significant and sustained impact on genetics education. The 2018 recipients are geneticist Steven Farber of the Carnegie Institution for Science and education expert Jamie Shuda of the University of Pennsylvania. Farber and Shuda were awarded the prize in recognition of their outreach program BioEYES, which provides students in grades 2-12 with hands-on biology experience using live zebrafish. The flagship program brings fish-and the tools to study them-into the classroom for an entire week, during which time students observe much of the fish's life cycle, from mating to the development of larvae.
