He is recipient of the FDA Award of Merit, the agency’s highest honor, for his individual scientific achievements in entomology., Director Olsen is a member of the Pacific Coast Entomological Society, the Entomological Society of Washington, the Society for Vector Ecology, the American Arachnological Society and the Northern California Spider Society. He is recognized in A Decade o f Acarology (1987). He is the author of chapters in two FDA technical manuals and of 15 articles on a wide variety of topics in entomology including insect fragment identification, animal hair identification, mite taxonomy, field studies and review articles. He is the scientific review authority for the FDA laboratory in Alameda and a recognized expert in microanalytical entomology., His current research interests are the taxonomy of stored-product mites, ethnoentomology and the natural history of the terrestrial arthropods of the Palau Islands.
