du Pont Trophy design recognizes student research
The 2020 du Pont Trophy features the internal shell of Spirula spirula, a deep sea cephalopod commonly referred to as ram’s horn squid. Painted annually by artist Lauren Sweeney, the du Pont Trophy is awarded as the Best of Show award at shell club shows in North America. The shell was selected for the painting in recognition of research projects conducted by two Widener University students with Curator of Mollusks Liz Shea, Ph.D. and Widener biology professor Dr. Janice Krumm.
