Service’s Rebecca Chuck Named an Honorary U.S. Marine  

Fewer than 100 people have received the title of “Honorary Marine,” one of the highest compliments the U.S. Marine Corps can give to a civilian. This week, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Rebecca Chuck, deputy project leader at Oregon Coast National Wildlife Refuge Complex, became one. The Marine Corps honored her for her work during last year’s 77th anniversary of Battle of Midway Commemoration at Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge and Battle of Midway National Memorial.

Service Announces Winner of National Prize Challenge to Defeat Bat-Killing Fungus

A team of six researchers from Oregon State University and the University of California have won a national prize challenge to combat white-nose syndrome, a lethal wildlife disease that has killed millions of bats in North America and pushed some native bat species to the brink of extinction. The winning team – Emily Dziedzic, Jenny Urbina Gonzalez, Jared LeBoldus, Michael Gordon, A. Marm Kilpatrick and Taal Levi – conceived of an aerosol spray to genetically silence the fungus that causes the disease without harming the bats, the places they hibernate, or other non-targeted organisms. The team will receive $20,000 for its proposal, which is intended to spur collaborations with scientists, designers and engineers to potentially bring the solution to life.
