Mulholland Endowment Challenge Match

November 23, 2013 by armsworth

Friends and colleagues of Pat Mulholland have an opportunity to double the impact of their contributions in support of the Pat Mulholland Post-Doctoral Endowed Fellowship. A donor has generously pledged to give up to $10,000 in this challenge match donation.  Any contributions we make that exceed this $10,000 challenge also will be placed in the Mulholland Endowment Fund. 

Throughout his career, Dr. Patrick Mulholland was a strong advocate for early career scientists as well as for collaboration between University of Tennessee and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). In recognition of Dr. Mulholland’s efforts, this endowment will support a postdoctoral fellow for one to three years to conduct collaborative research in ecology or environmental sciences, focusing on pressing environmental issues related to global change, with faculty in the Ecology and Environmental Biology Department (EEB) at UT and staff scientists at ORNL.  For more information about Pat Mulholland, please read the Mulholland Endowment Article from page 2 of the 2012 EEB Newsletter.

Woody Plants of Kentucky and Tennessee

November 20, 2013 by armsworth

Eugene Wofford has co-authored a new book called Woody Plants of Kentucky and Tennessee: The Complete Winter Guide to Their Identification and Use.  The guide enables people to identify trees, shrubs, and woody vines during the winter months, when the absence of leaves and fruit makes plants difficult to recognize.  It also provides notes on practical uses for the plants. The book features more than 400 species and is written for amateurs as well as professional botanists.  It was published in October by the University Press of Kentucky and is also available from Amazon.com.
