A record crowd of nearly 450 attended the 11th Annual Nevada Medal Dinner at Caesars Palace on April 23, where Dr. Lynn Margulis received DRI's most prestigious award, the Nevada Medal. Margulis, a renowned microbiologist internationally known for her research on the evolution of small forms of life, received the Nevada Medal from Governor Bob Miller.

While the research work of Lynn Margulis in the area of cell evolution was gradually being accepted, her collaboration with Dr James Lovelock in the formulation of the Gaia Hypothesis was often viewed in a critical manner. Neverthess, such an environment did not seem to daunt her scientific progress in many areas, neither did it hinder her publication and joint publication of a number of articles, reviews and books in the interim period of the 1970's and 1980's in which debate on the Gaia Hypothesis raged within scientific circles and - indeed moreso - outside of these.
