On July 12, 2019, Dr. Ellington received the Research Corporation for Science Advancement’s (RCSA) STAR award for his work on entrepreneurial education. In partnership with Dr. Sarah Eichhorn and the Texas Institute for Discovery Education, Dr. Ellington has helped to establish the Inventors’ Program, where students can take on translational problems and learn business-ready skills. As an example, Simren Lakhotia, an undergraduate researcher in the program, has worked on the development of a portable field diagnostic for Rocky Mountain spotted fever that would allow hikers to test individual ticks for the disease. Dr. Ellington was originally a Cottrell Scholar, an award that allowed teaching and research to be melded, and has since maintained a long association with the Research Foundation, an organization devoted to advancing science education.
