Wilson Hutton Medal The Hutton Memorial Fund was established in 1909 to support the award of the Hutton Medal and grants for the encouragement of research in New Zealand zoology, botany, or geology. The Hutton Medal is awarded biennially, in rotation, for earth sciences, plant sciences, and animal sciences to the investigator who, working within New Zealand, has undertaken work of great scientific or technological merit and made an outstanding contribution to the advancement of the particular branch of science and technology. Research grants are also made from the Hutton Fund. The 2002 Hutton Medal (Animal Sciences) was awarded to Professor Roger Morris FRSNZ, of Massey University, for outstanding contribution to the advancement of animal sciences particularly in the area of animal health and the control of infectious diseases including those with human health implications.
