Thank you to all those who have contributed to our special Launch KU project honoring KU Biodiversity Institute and Natural History Museum Director Leonard 'Kris' Krishtalka, who is retiring at the end of 2020. This fund, which Krishtalka chose, will support graduate student scholarships for KU Biodiversity Institute and Natural History Museum graduate student researchers like Matt Jones, featured in this video.
Watch the video to learn more about those mentored at the BI/NHM and how your support of this scholarship fund can help them with research conference fees and travel, supplies for expeditions and even basic necessities during the summer, when many are not able to teach.
Thank you for supporting these excellent current and future scientists!
