Premios y Distinciones

  •   Premiado en el Simposio de jóvenes científicos “Profesor Dr. Humberto Maturana” de la Sociedad de Biología de Chile

    SOCIEDAD DE BIOLOGIA DE CHILE

    Chile, 2022

    La Sociedad de Biología de Chile desea homenajear al Profesor Dr. Humberto Maturana quien fuera socio fundador de esta Sociedad, destacando su actividad formadora de científicos, muchos de los cuales son actualmente miembros de esta sociedad. Como una manera de recordar su labor se ha instituido un premio a científicos jóvenes realizando un simposio con su nombre.

  •   RES Journal Early Career Entomologist Awards 2021-2023

    Royal Entomological Society

    Reino Unido, 2024

    These awards have been given to the best articles led by early-career entomologists, published during 2021-2023. The winners were selected by the Editors-in-Chief of each journal using set criteria. Competition was tough, with the judging panels impressed with the quality of papers overall. This is extremely positive for the future of entomological research.
