Congratulations to Professor Felicia Keesing, winner of the 2022 International Cosmos Prize from the Expo ’90 Foundation! Dr. Keesing will receive a monetary prize of 40 million yen (approximately $290,000 USD) and have an audience with the Emperor and Empress of Japan. The Foundation recognized Dr. Keesing for "clarifying the relationship between biodiversity and the risk of zoonotic pathogen transmission [...] These research achievements are instrumental in exploring the interrelationships among all life forms and provide sensible suggestions for seeking the ideal state of ‘Harmonious Coexistence between Nature and Humankind’ in the post-COVID-19 era.” Dr. Keesing will receive a certificate of merit, a medallion, and the monetary prize at the award ceremony, which will be held in Osaka, Japan, on November 9. She will also give a commemorative lecture and participate in a symposium held in her honor. #bardcollege
