ESA wants to share the exciting news that Dr. Peter Agre, the Bloomberg Distinguished Professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and Bloomberg School of Public Health, will deliver the keynote address at ICE 2016, which will be held September 25-30, 2016 in Orlando, Florida.

Dr. Agre shared the 2003 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for discovering aquaporins, a family of water-channel proteins found throughout nature that underlies numerous physiological processes and clinical disorders. He is deeply involved in multiple global issues, and is the current director of the Johns Hopkins Malaria Research Institute, which conducts research in Zambia and Zimbabwe.

>From 2005-2008, he chaired the Committee on Human Rights of the National Academy of Sciences, and led efforts on behalf of imprisoned scientists, engineers, and health professionals worldwide. He has also participated in diplomatic visits and meetings with leaders of Cuba, North Korea, Myanmar, and Iran.

A past president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), Dr. Agre is an ambassador for science. He has given numerous lectures and presentations, and has even appeared on the television program The Colbert Report.

"We are honored to have Dr. Peter Agre as our keynote speaker," said Dr. Walter Leal, co-chair of ICE 2016. "This will be an historic event with more than 6,000 attendees, and we look forward to hearing about Dr. Agre's efforts to control malaria, a mosquito-borne disease that kills more than 600,000 people each year."

"Controlling malaria is definitely one of the grand challenges in the field of entomology," said Dr. Alvin Simmons, co-chair of ICE 2016. "Dr. Agre's perspectives as a scientist and as a communicator will be well appreciated by the thousands of international insect and related scientists who will be in attendance."

ICE 2016 will be the largest gathering of entomologists in history, as it will be co-located with the annual meetings of the Entomological Society of America, the Entomological Society of Canada, the Florida Entomological Society, along with events hosted by the Entomological Societies of China, Brazil, Australia, and others. Registration for the event opens in November 2014. For more information about ICE 2016, please visit www.ice2016orlando.org.
