The Wolfgang & Patricia Joklik Distinguished Service Award is a prestigious award in honor of the founder of ASV and his service to ASV, made possible by a financial donation by Wolfgang’s (Bill’s) wife Patricia Joklik. It recognizes a current or past ASV member for outstanding long-term or significant service to our Society, our members, and to the science of virology. The award consists of a commemorative medal that will be presented by the ASV President prior to the Keynote Address of the Society’s annual meeting.
