"I pick what I know to be important problems -- the places around the world where biodiversity is being lost most rapidly -- and then worry about what I can do about it...that's why I'm at the Nicholas School. It's a problem--not discipline--oriented group. One dedicated to solving the serious problems facing the environment. The school's faculty has a huge array of talents and experiences that can be brought to bear on these problems."
--Stuart L. Pimm,
Doris Duke Professor of Conservation Ecology
