Paul W. Sherman - Curriculum Vitae

E-mail: [email protected] of Neurobiology and Behavior W307 Seeley G. Mudd Hall Cornell University Ithaca, New York 14853, USA Web Page: www.nbb.cornell.edu/sherman.shtml

Biographic Sketch Paul Sherman was an undergraduate at Stanford, a graduate student at Michigan, and a Miller

Postdoctoral Fellow at Berkeley. He joined the Cornell faculty in 1981, was awarded tenure in 1985, and was promoted to Full Professor in 1991. In 2005 he was appointed an S. H. Weiss Presidential Fellow in recognition of “effective, inspiring, and distinguished teaching.”

Sherman has published or edited 7 books and 191 papers and book chapters. His Web of Science “H” index is 41. His research has contributed to scientific understanding in six general areas: altruism and nepotism, kin recognition, eusociality, evolution of sex, conservation biology (especially the concept of evolutionary traps), and Darwinian medicine (especially the adaptive significance of morning sickness, allergies, spice use, lactose intolerance, and senescence). Over the past 35 years, he has studied birds, insects, mammals, and an insect-like mammal (the naked mole-rat).

At Cornell Sherman teaches courses focusing on Animal Behavior and Darwinian Medicine. He was a Sigma Xi National Lecturer in 2004-06, and was elected a Fellow of the Animal Behavior Society in 2004. He has sponsored 23 doctoral students and 7 postdoctoral students, and has lectured at academic institutions and in symposia worldwide.
