Professor Thomas Miller's research accomplishments to be displayed in South Korea
Research accomplishments by Thomas A. Miller, a professor of entomology who researches the tobacco budworm, Pierce's Disease and the pink bollworm, will be permanently displayed at the "Uljin Insect Tour," an insect museum and visitor center being built in Uljin, South Korea, by that country's Insect Ecology Research Center. The center piece of the exhibit will be the events leading up to, and including, Miller receiving in 2003 the prestigious Gregor Mendel Award for Research in the Biological Sciences from the Czech Academy of Sciences. Also being celebrated is the annual Verrall Lecture that Miller gave to the Royal Entomological Society, London, in 2005 - an honor given to only distinguished foreign scientists. The opening of the Uljin Insect Tour will coincide with the 2009 Uljin EXPO (July 24 through Aug. 16). Thereafter, the center will be available to entomologists worldwide for doing collaborative studies.
