Here are a few of 2005-2006 Scholarship Recipients:

Name Heather E. Baldwin  
Degree and Field Ph.D., Psychology
Institution Boston College
Location Brighton, Massachusetts
Award Year 2005-06
Reports find that child soldiers lose trust as a result of their experiences, but evidence is circumstantial and no systematic investigation into the process of loss of trust exists. Heather Baldwin is exploring understandings of trust in Rwandan young women who took part in armed forces while they were adolescents.

Name Alison M. Bell
Degree and Field Postdoctoral research, Animal behavior
Institution University of California, Davis
Location Davis, California
Award Year 2005-06
Alison Bell is conducting a survivorship experiment to determine the fitness consequences of different behavioral types under predation risk. Her long-term goal is to establish a rigorous university research program that integrates approaches from behavioral ecology, evolutionary biology, physiology, and genomics.

Name Elizabeth D. Blue
Degree and Field Ph.D., Organometallic chemistry
Institution North Carolina State University
Location Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina
Award Year 2005-06
Elizabeth Blue is studying the synthesis and reactivity of new compounds, including copper amido and copper nitrene complexes. She will examine new copper amido complexes for the formation of polymers and use copper nitrene complexes to investigate the formation of carbon-nitrogen bonds in small molecules.

Name Sarah L. Boyer
Degree and Field Ph.D., Organismic and evolutionary biology
Institution Harvard University
Location Cambridge, Massachusetts
Award Year 2005-06
Sarah Boyer is studying the family Pettalidae, a group of tiny arachnids that live in leaf litter habitats across fragments of the former supercontinent Gondwana in Chile, South Africa, Madagascar, Australia, New Zealand, and Sri Lanka. She intends to interpret the evolutionary history of this group in light of the geologic history of the breakup of Gondwana.
