The American Society for Microbiology has awarded
Princeton biologist Thomas Silhavy its 2002 Graduate
Microbiology Teaching Award.
The society cited Silhavy for his "exceptional teaching
and mentoring" both at Princeton and at Cold Spring Harbor
Laboratory in New York, where he taught from 1981 to
1985.
Silhavy, who holds the Warner-Lambert Parke-Davis
Professorship of Molecular Biology, teaches "Prokaryotic
Molecular Biology," which is a required course for
first-year graduate students in the department. The society
praised the course for its "extensive reading of classic and
modern scientific literature" and for the way it "encourages
the development of informed and creative scientific
minds."
Silhavy also is the author, with Jonathan Beckwith, of
the widely used 1992 textbook, "The Power of Bacterial
Genetics: A Literature-based Course." He received the
University's President's Award for Distinguished Teaching in
1993.
