理查德·L·拉德基夏威夷大学马诺阿分校。拉德克以一种高效的方式有效地平衡了他在科学研究和社区/青年教育之间的时间。他让学生、家长和老师在他的实验室里、在野外、在他的全球探险中、在无数的公民演讲、学校访问和公共电视节目中参与进来。拉德克博士与不同的学生群体合作，包括本科生和研究生。他已经指导了80多名肢体残疾的青年。他鼓励盲人年轻人划独木舟；鼓励有心理健康需要的年轻人控制自己的情绪；鼓励聋人学生用美国手语分享他们的观察结果。拉德克医生是一个杰出的榜样，特别是对于身体残疾的年轻人来说，因为他也因为多发性硬化症而严重残疾，自20世纪80年代中期的S以来，他一直从颈部以下瘫痪。

Richard L. RadtkeUniversity of Hawaii at ManoaDr. Radtke effectively balances his time between scientific research and community/youth education in a highly productive way. He engages students, parents and teachers in his laboratory, in the field, in his global expeditions and in countless civic presentations, schools visits and public television programs. Dr. Radtke works with a diverse student body including undergraduate and graduate students. He has mentored more than eighty youths with physical disabilities. He has inspired blind youth to paddle canoes; youth with mental health needs to control their emotions; and Deaf students to share their observations in American Sign Language. Dr. Radtke is an outstanding role model, particularly for physically disabled youth, since he too is severely disabled due to multiple sclerosis and has been paralyzed from the neck down since the mid 1980's.
