Each year the University of Akron solicits nominations for outstanding individuals in the areas of teaching, research, and service, and this year John Huss was selected as the University's Outstanding Reseacher.  His expertise in Philosophy of Science, as well as his background in Geology and Geophysical Science, allows him to collaborate extensively with people outside of philosophy.  Huss has received a number of fellowships and grants, which is rare for a philosopher; his most recent being a prestigious Fulbright Award for a year in Poland, hosted by the Institute of Philosophy of Jagiellonian University in Krakow.
