Influenza is in the headlines again; this time because a new avian virus – the H7N9 – has infected several dozen people, with over 20 confirmed deaths. Where do new influenza viruses come from?

Washington, DC—March 22, 2013— The 2013 USFCC/J. Roger Porter Award has been presented to Lenie Dijkshoorn, Ph.D., Leiden University Medical Center, Netherlands. The award, given in memory of J. Rodger Porter, honors extraordinary efforts by a scientist who has demonstrated the importance of microbial biodiversity through sustained curatorial or stewardship activities for a major resource used by the scientific community. Joan Bennett says “Dijkshoorn’s willingness to follow through on projects large and small, her high professional standards and her rigor as a taxonomist, make her an ideal candidate for the USFCC/J. Roger Porter Award.”
