I am lucky to have been one of Eadie’s graduate students. This is a well deserved award!

Distinguished Professor John Eadie won this year's UC Davis Teaching Prize of $60,000 and is donating the prize money to establish a new scholarship in wildlife and waterfowl biology for underrepresented and nontraditional students. ucdavis.edu/news/distingui…
