Citation:

For innovative research that applies evolutionary statistical analyses to infer sequences of genes ancestral to existing gene sequences and for using these sequences to test explicit hypotheses about the evolution of vertebrate steroid receptors, important components of endocrine regulatory systems and for educating students about the practical role of evolution in human health and natural conservation issues, and about how science can critically inform public policy.
