Possible New Lead Section
George Evelyn Hutchinson, described by many as the “Father of modern Ecology”, was born January 30,1903 in Cambridge, England. He contributed for more than sixty years to the fields of limnology, systems ecology, radiation ecology, entomology, genetics, biogeochemistry, a mathematical theory of population growth, art history, philosophy, religion, and anthropology. Although born in England, he spent nearly his entire professional life at Yale University with his focus on working with graduate students. He is known as one of the first to combine ecology with mathematics. He earned his degree in Zoology from Cambridge University but chose not to earn a doctorate, of which he would come to be proud of as he aged. He then went to Italy where he would later return to study its lakes, art, and music. Next he travelled to South Africa where he discovered the field of limnology or the study of freshwater systems, on the shallow lakes near Cape Town. He would become an international expert on lakes and would author a four-volume Treatise on Limnology in 1957. He was then offered a position teaching zoology at Yale University, which he accepted in 1928. He travelled widely as part of his position, which allowed him to explore previously underexplored parts of the world. It was during these travels that he authored his first book on the ecology of high-elevation lakes in India and the people that lived there, it was to be widely received by a large audience due to his skill as a writer. Yale would prove to be the perfect place for his studies, as his graduate students would influence him to delve into studies he had never considered. After retiring he returned to London, where he died May 17, 1991.

Nice work!

Reminders for class on Tuesday, 2/4
Hi Mackenzie! A quick note to check in and share some reminders. How have the Wiki readings been going? Do you have any questions about them? We will be evaluating Alexander von Humbold'ts Wikipedia page on Tuesday in discussion, so be sure to review the Evaluating Wikipedia article quality brochure. Also, remember that you have two other things due Tuesday: creating a User Page (which you've done) and introducing yourself to an online ambassador or another student through their Talk Page. Since you have already created a user page, use this time to add a few sentences to what you have. This page is a useful introduction for other Wikipedians you might be working with in the future. Maybe you can describe your course of study at Bucknell, since it is relevant in this case? Let me know if you have any questions! --Enstandrew (talk) 18:51, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
