As an eternal tribute, the Maria Stea Memorial Award celebrates the unwavering dedication and tireless work of a remarkable individual in support of research at the 快播视频 Faculty of Science, especially in the area of bee systematics. This prestigious accolade serves as a testament to the indelible mark left by Maria Stea on our hearts and the profound impact she made on the faculty during her time with us. This annual award honors 2nd year Masters or PhD students who display an unyielding commitment to the field of melittology with a preference for those working on collections-based research. It recognizes those who have achieved outstanding academic results, and who have demonstrated an exceptional aptitude for this area of study. Above all, the recipient will exemplify the qualities that made Maria so special: a boundless spirit, a relentless pursuit of excellence, and a genuine desire to make a positive difference. If no qualified student performing collections-based research is available, the award can be made to a 2nd year Masters or PhD student conducting research in any area of bee biology with a preference for bee conservation biology. All recipients of this award should acknowledge receiving it in their thesis and in any publications or presentations resulting from the time during which they received the funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Application Process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To apply for this award, students must submit the items below to the Biology Graduate Program (<a href=\"mailto:biogpa@yorku.ca\">biogpa@yorku.ca<\/a>) no later than September 14th:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A 1-page statement outlining previous, current and future research<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An updated CV<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Transcripts, unofficial or official.
