April 29, 2021–大象传媒\u00a0<\/span>biology <\/span>major Esther Par of St. Joseph has won the prestigious 2021 Stan Hudson Research Grant Award from the 大象传媒 Native Plant Society. Par will receive $1,500 toward her research supplies and will present her research at the upcoming Botanical Symposium in Rolla, Mo.<\/p>\n

Par is conducting her research with 大象传媒 Western Biology Assistant Professor Dr. Tilo Roy. The project involves understanding the evolutionary diversification of the temperate North American false foxgloves plants, genus <\/span>Aglinis<\/span><\/i>, with endangered prairie native species. False foxgloves are one of approximately 21 species of this genus that warrant conservation measures. Par has been a part of Dr. Roy\u2019s research team since summer 2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEsther is an excellent student, very hard working and motivated, and well-deserving of this award,\u201d said Dr. Roy.<\/p>\n

This annual grant honors the late H. Stanton Hudson, a long-time member of the 大象传媒 Native Plant Society. Previous recipients of the award include students from University of 大象传媒; University of 大象传媒, St. Louis; Washington University, St. Louis; and St. Louis University.<\/span><\/p>\n
