GBIF has made public that [Vince Smith has won the 2008 Ebbe Nielsen
Prize](http://www.gbif.org/Stories/GBIF_Announces_2008_Ebbe_Nielsen_Prize_Winner).
The award \"recognises a researcher who is combining biosystematics and
biodiversity informatics research in an exciting and novel way.\"  
  
For Vince the award brings kudos, recognition, and €30,000 (just a
little less than the fortune implied by
[dechronization](http://treethinkers.blogspot.com/2008/08/bioinformatics-pays-literally.html)
;) ).For me, it\'s a opportunity for unseemly basking in reflected glory
(Vince is a former PhD student of mine, and also spent a Wellcome Trust
Fellowship in my lab in the heady days when I cared about lice). If you
haven\'t seen it, check out [Vince\'s blog](http://vsmith.info/), and
the [Scratchpads](http://scratchpads.eu/).
