MCZ Curator of Ornithology and Professor, Scott Edwards, is featured in the Harvard Magazine article, How Birds Lost Flight: Scott Edwards discovers evolution’s master switches. The article discusses not only how his insights have fundamentally shaped the study of evolution and continues to bring the very latest in population and molecular genetics to the study of birds, but also his background and efforts to support inclusion in science.
