Hudson Filas, a senior marine science<\/a> student at Eckerd College, grew up in Toledo, Ohio, on the western tip of Lake Erie. He could fish before he could read.<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\u201cMy dad and I would fish for muskellunge, which is a strong fighting fish,\u201d Hudson recalls. \u201cPeople say it\u2019s less like fishing and more like hunting. They are very elusive fish. You have to find them and use the right lure \u2026 all these different factors go into it. It\u2019s like the world\u2019s most complicated jigsaw puzzle.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt requires a lot of thought, and that\u2019s what drew me to marine science. I love being connected with nature and thinking about it from an analytical perspective.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s that analytical approach to the outdoors, plus plenty of hard work, that helped Hudson recently earn the country\u2019s most prestigious undergraduate scholarship for science majors\u2014the Barry Goldwater Scholarship<\/a>. It\u2019s a highly selective $7,500 award given to students from all fields of science, engineering and mathematics who obtain at least a 3.0 grade point average, plan to have a career in the natural sciences, and present a rigorous application that includes an original research paper.<\/p>\n

Established by Congress in 1986 to honor former U.S. Senator and 1964 presidential candidate Barry Goldwater, the scholarship\u2019s aim is \u201cto provide a continuing source of highly qualified scientists, mathematicians and engineers by awarding scholarships to college students who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents and intend to pursue careers in these fields,\u201d according to the program\u2019s website.<\/p>\n

Hudson was one of only 12 students from a Florida college or university to receive the award this year.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”48″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” el_class=”lg_text” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text]\u201cThis is a real feather in the cap of Hudson, and of Eckerd\u2019s science program,\u201d says William Szelistowski, Ph.D.<\/a>, associate professor of marine science and biology<\/a> at Eckerd and the College\u2019s Goldwater Scholarship campus representative.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”48″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]For Hudson\u2019s research paper, he returned to the water last summer, this time alongside Jarrett Byrnes, Ph.D., a University of Massachusetts\u2013Boston associate professor of biology and marine ecology. Their research, supported by the National Science Foundation Research Experiences for Undergraduates program<\/a>, examined the identity and diversity of populations of small animals that live in the rocky intertidal zones of the Boston Harbor Islands.<\/p>\n

\u201cLake Erie, Boston Harbor, Tampa Bay \u2026 I spent my whole life around bodies of water that were once in really bad shape,\u201d Hudson says. \u201cBut all three have become pretty major success stories, although there\u2019s still a lot of work to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Goldwater Scholarship, Hudson says, will enable him to continue his work.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”48″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” el_class=”lg_text” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text]\u201cThis is an honor that I wasn\u2019t expecting,\u201d he adds. \u201cThis is going to help me be more competitive for grad school and for jobs, and help give me an edge on my research.

\u201cAs part of the project, Hudson helped to collect and analyze water samples for microplastics from seven stations around Tampa Bay. Having added to his skillset, he then moved on to research projects that were more aligned with his scientific interests,\u201d Siuda explains. \u201cProfessor [Shannon] Gowans<\/a> and I were happy to provide a research foundation for Hudson, preparing him for his subsequent activities.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Hudson\u2019s professor for Biological Oceanography, Siuda requested that he serve as a teaching assistant for the class during the spring of his first year.<\/p>\n

\u201cHudson is bright and earns top grades in his classes,\u201d Siuda adds. \u201cMy sense is that he is a natural academic and that academic success comes easy for him. However, I want to emphasize that I don\u2019t think Hudson takes this gift for granted. He put great effort into his written work, taking advantage of office hours to improve his already strong assignments. Also, during class-related exercises in the lab and field, Hudson was always an active participant, working effectively alone or as part of a team.\u201d<\/p>\n

A 2021 National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Ernest F. Hollings Scholar<\/a>, Hudson plans to travel to Seattle this summer to continue his long-term research in marine predator-prey interactions. He\u2019ll be working with Kerim Aydin, Ph.D., manager of the Resource Ecology and Ecosystem Modeling Program at the Alaska Fisheries Science Center, a NOAA facility.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Goldwater Scholarship, the Hollings Scholarship, they all revolve around research,\u201d Hudson says. \u201cEckerd College academically prepared me for that. The research possibilities here are partly why I chose Eckerd. In most big schools, the grad students do the research, and the undergraduates do the grunt work. There are no grad students at Eckerd.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
