Jere H. Lipps received the Joseph A. Cushman Award for Excellence in Foraminiferal Research on October 24, 2006 at a standing-room-only Cushman Reception of the Geological Society of America Annual Meeting in Philadelphia, PA. Lipps’ productive career has promoted foraminiferal research to the forefront of both geological and biological sciences, and has strongly influenced the next generation of micropaleontologists and geobiologists.

Jere began his foraminiferal studies in his native Los Angeles at the University of California Los Angeles in the 1960’s. Under the direction of Helen Tappan, along with mentoring from Al Loeblich, he completed his PhD in 1966, after which he quickly rose through the academic ranks at the University of California Davis. Jere opted to join the faculty of the University of California Berkeley in 1988, where he remains to the present as a Professor of Integrative Biology and a Faculty Curator in the Museum of Paleontology.

Lipps’ research interests include the evolutionary biology of marine organisms, especially protists; the ecological and biological study of extant and extinct species; and the astrobiology of Jupiter’s icy moons . . . [Full Text of this Article]
