I am an evolutionary biologist who does scientific research on evolutionary theory. I originated the theory that organisms can act as feedback systems with respect to their evolution, and that their behavior play approximately as large a role as their environment in shaping their evolution. I founded the World Rainforest Fund, a nonprofit foundation dedicated to saving the earth's tropical rainforests and biodiversity. I also lecture on evolutionary biology, the philosophical implications of science, and environmental issues. I am the author of the popular poetry book, "Honor Thy Sow Bug", which has sold over a thousand copies and has made it into its fourth printing--this is very rarre to have such success for a first book of poetry.Specialties: Evolutionary biology, rainforest preservation, stopping global climate change, alternative energy solutions, public policy, and poetry
