The newest of the eight awards that AAAS bestows to scientists each year, the Award for Science Diplomacy, has since 2013 honored an individual or a small group working in the science, engineering or foreign affairs communities to make an outstanding contribution to science diplomacy. In 2020, Exequiel Ezcurra received the award for his work that combines research, education, outreach and policy in service of environmental protection, particularly at the United States-Mexico border.
“I cannot exaggerate the influential role he has played in terms of tangible achievements in the conservation of nature,” said Rodolfo Dirzo, professor of environmental sciences at Stanford University, in a letter nominating Ezcurra for the award.
