Robert Ridgway Award

The ABA Robert Ridgway Award for Publications in Field Ornithology is an award given by the American Birding Association to an individual who has made significant contributions to the field ornithology literature in the areas of North American bird distribution and field identification. The award may honor a writer or an artist.[1]

One of five awards presented by the ABA for contributions to ornithology, the award is named in honor of Robert Ridgway, initiator of a monumental work of bird systematics, as well as one of the first color nomenclature systems for bird identification.

The award was first bestowed on Harold Mayfield.

The general slogan is that weak functors can be replaced by strict functors between fibrant-cofibrant objects, but weak transformations can’t necessarily be replaced by strict ones. For instance, this is why the Gray tensor product is useful: it’s designed to handle strict functors and weak transformations.
gollark: Has anyone actually made memes about *me*?
