Michael S. Engel,

Arabia, eastern Africa, the high Arctic, and South and North America, and has published more than 983 papers in scientific journals[3] and over 925 new living and fossil species.[citation needed] Some of Engel's research images were included in exhibitions on the aesthetic value of scientific imagery.[4]

Career

Engel received a B.Sc. in physiology and cell biology and a B.A. in chemistry from the

Guggenheim Fellow,[9][10] completing work on the geological history of termites and their influence on carbon recycling in paleoenvironments.[11] This period also permitted significant work on the comprehensive work, Treatise on the Termites of the World.[12] In 2008 he received the Charles Schuchert Award[13][14] of the Paleontological Society and subsequently the Bicentenary Medal[15] of the Linnean Society of London (2009) for his contributions to the fields of systematic entomology and paleontology. In Spring 2014 he was awarded the Scholarly Achievement Award of the University of Kansas for his contributions to the evolutionary and developmental origins of insect flight;[16] and in 2015 the International Cooperation Award from the Chinese Academy of Sciences.[17] In 2017, Engel was elected as a Fellow of the Entomological Society of America[18] and received the society's Thomas Say Award.[19] In Spring 2019, Innumerable Insects won a Silver Award in the Nautilus Book Award.[20]

Personal life

Engel married Kellie K. Magill on April 25, 2009, in a ceremony performed by Engel's father.[21]
