Adelphi is pleased to welcome author, naturalist, and entomologist Dr. Robert Pyle to discuss Biology and Natural History: Their Sad Divorce and Prospects for Reconciliation on Wednesday, March 15, at 7:00 p.m. in the Ruth S. Harley University Center Ballroom, 1 South Avenue, Garden City, NY. The lecture, which is sponsored by the 19th Annual Joseph Napolitano Memorial Lecture in Biology, is free and open to the public.

Dr. Robert Pyle holds a doctorate in conservation ecology from the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies and is the author of fourteen books on various aspects of natural history. He is a leading expert on the Monarch butterfly and is founder of the Xerces Society. Dr. Pyle is deeply concerned that both academic science and the average person have lost direct contact with the real world of living nature.
