The Maynard Moseley Award
DR. MAYNARD MOSELEY was widely recognized for his
enthusiasm for and dedication to teaching and his students, as well as for his
research using floral and wood anatomy to understand the systematics and evolution
of angiosperm taxa, especially waterlilies. (PSB, Spring, 2003). The Maynard
F. Moseley Award was established in 1995 to honor a career of dedicated teaching,
scholarship, and service to the furtherance of the botanical sciences. Dr. Moseley,
known to his students as “Dr. Mo”, died Jan. 16, 2003 in Santa Barbara,
CA, where he had been a professor since 1949. The award is given to the best
student paper, presented in either the Paleobotanical or Developmental and Structural
sessions, that advances our understanding of plant structure in an evolutionary
context.
