The Gerontological Society of America bestows Kleemeier Award to Idaho's Austad

The Gerontological Society of America has chosen Dr. Steven Austad of the University of Idaho as the 2003 recipient of the Robert W. Kleemeier Award. This distinction is given annually to a GSA member in recognition for outstanding research in the field of gerontology.

The award presentation will take place at GSA's 56th Annual Scientific Meeting, which will be held from November 21st-25th, 2003 in San Diego, California. The meeting is organized to foster interdisciplinary interactions among gerontological health care clinical, administrative, and research professionals.

Dr. Austad is a Professor of Zoology in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Idaho and an Affiliate Associate Professor of Pathology at the University of Washington School of Medicine. He has been a GSA fellow for ten years.

His research interests focus on the biology of aging in humans, mammals, and birds. Austad is almost universally considered to be the foremost authority on aging in natural populations. His work on the Sapelo Island opossum population still stands as the eminent "field test" of the idea that natural selection can produce slow aging genotypes in animals.

He is the author of the 1999 book "Why We Age: What Science Is Discovering about the Body's Journey Through Life." Austad holds degrees from UCLA, California State University, and Perdue University.
