EPA SCIENTIST RECEIVES FULBRIGHT SCHOLARSHIP
EPA scientist, Dr. Robert T. Lackey, has been chosen as a recipient of the prestigious and highly competitive Fulbright scholarship. Lackey, an internationally-recognized authority on links between ecological science and public policy, will continue his research during a six-month Fulbright tenure at the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC) in Prince George, British Columbia. He will also be teaching a graduate-level course on ecological science and policy. His research focuses on ecosystem health, ecosystem management, and ecological risk assessment, studying current ecological policy issues to identify the type of scientific information needed by decision makers. For the past 30 years he has been involved with a range of environmental issues with positions in the government and academia. He continues an active program of research and study, having written 75 scientific journal articles, authored a book on fisheries science, and edited three other books.
