Scott Edwards remembers the first bird species he ever identified: “Northern Flicker, what we used to call the Yellow-shafted Flicker—a kind of woodpecker,” says Edwards, now the Agassiz Professor of Organismal and Evolutionary Biology. He was about 12 years old at the time, and a neighbor in the Bronx had invited him to go bird watching. With binoculars and a field guide in hand, they identified a few local species, starting with the Northern Flicker, with its spotted breast and red chevrons. He was hooked.
The Center for the Environment brings together one of the largest and most varied faculty communities on campus. HUCE Faculty Associates participate in events, workshops, grant programs, and meet twice-monthly to discuss their research and environmental issues more broadly.
The directory below contains profiles of the more than 250 faculty affiliated with the Center. The directory is searchable by research area, School, and keyword.
