Nominations from individuals or groups are welcome for the
2013 Ross G Harrison Prize, awarded by the International Society
of Developmental Biologists (ISDB). This prestigious prize is
awarded once every four years and is intended first and foremost
to recognize outstanding scientific contributions that have
profoundly influenced progress in the field of developmental
biology. This may also include those who have made
extraordinary administrative contributions and/or those whose
achievements have not been sufficiently recognized by other
organizations.

The recipient will receive a medal and will be asked to present a
special lecture at the ISDB Congress to be held in Cancun in June,

why the individual is a deserving recipient, and including
