[nysbirds-l] Birding and Biking Across America with Dr. Scott Edwards on Weds May 26 at 7:30pm
Hudson River Audubon Society and NYC Audubon are co-hosting a FREE presentation with Scott V. Edwards, Ph.D. Register here: https://nycaudubon.z2systems.com/np/clients/nycaudubon/eventRegistration.jsp?event=2424&; BIRDING AND BIKING ACROSS AMERICA Wednesday, May 26, 2021 7:30 PM In the summer of 2020, Scott V. Edwards, Professor of Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University, realized a long-held dream. In June, he dipped his bicycle tires in the Atlantic Ocean at Newburyport, Massachusetts and set out to ride across the US with the goal of dipping his tires in the Pacific. He strapped two signs to his bike: “Black Lives Matter” and “Birds Spark Hope”. Ironically, the COVID-19 pandemic freed him of classroom duties to take off across the country. He rode unassisted, no van followed behind with a comfy bed, supplies and meals. He slept in campgrounds, in a tent he packed in his bike bag. Heat, rain, bad roads, uphill climbs – he kept going. He cycled 3,800 miles carrying a message for racial justice and hope. The racial inclusion movements -- Blacks in Nature and Black Birders Week -- inspired him, too. How did Americans across the country react to this 57 year-old, professorial, Black cyclist with his signs for racial justice and hope? Come listen to him on Zoom, May 26th. And, an added benefit, he’ll talk about the birds he saw. More about this impressive and determined cyclist/birder/professor: Scott has taught and conducted research on the evolution of birds at Harvard since 2003. He got his Ph.D. at the University of California, Berkeley. His research uses genetic data to discover how bird species are related to each other; how they defend themselves against disease; and how they move across the landscape. Along with his research and teaching, he works towards building as much diversity in the scientific workforce as there is in the natural world.
