Peter Hudson to receive Penn State Honorary Alumni Award
Peter Hudson, Willaman Professor of Biology in the Eberly College of Science and director of The Huck Institutes of the Life Sciences, started his career as a wildlife biologist. His interest in wildlife diseases started when he discovered that population cycles of red grouse in Scotland were strongly influenced by gut parasites. A keen conservationist, he has graduate students studying the transmission and spread of infectious diseases in wildlife all over the world. Credit: Patrick Mansell
