Presented by Dr. Larry A. Nielsen, Alumni Distinguished Undergraduate Professor, North Carolina State University Abstract: These are stressful times for environmental scientists. Will environmental regulations go down the drain? Is funding for environmental programs an endangered species? What can we do about it? For starters, we can turn for inspiration to the great conservationists of the past—people like John Muir, Rachel Carson, Chico Mendes and Wangari Maathai, who put their reputations and lives on the line to protect our environment.
