Award-winning American biologist, theorist, naturalist and author Dr. Edward Osborne Wilson recently provided the Massachusetts Envirothon with a note of support to mark the program’s 30th year.
Dr. Wilson’s biological specialty is myrmecology, the study of ants, on which he is considered to be the world’s leading expert. He is the author of “The Encyclopedia of Life,” and is known as “the father of sociobiology” and “the father of biodiversity.” He is noted for his environmental advocacy.
Many thanks to Dr. Wilson for his support.
