"We ask everyone to raise their eyes
from the dung pie to the sky
here, a lonely night wanderer finds guidance
seen through the eyes of a beetle,
the African moon and the stars
lead the way to their success!"

The red pilates ball is signed by the winners who were at the ceremony.

Reference: JOINT PRIZE IN BIOLOGY AND ASTRONOMY: Marie Dacke [SWEDEN, AUSTRALIA], Emily Baird [SWEDEN, AUSTRALIA, GERMANY], Marcus Byrne [SOUTH AFRICA, UK], Clarke Scholtz [SOUTH AFRICA], and Eric Warrant [SWEDEN, AUSTRALIA, GERMANY], for discovering that when dung beetles get lost, they can navigate their way home by looking at the Milky Way. See the full list of of this year's winners!
