There are so many rewards to a career in science that it is difficult to pick a single favorite experience. The thing I like best about it is the ability to have an impact; that is, to do something good for people or the environment. Every time I publish a scientific paper or help a student to become a scientist, I feel that I help the world to be a better place. Also, I work on many different questions in many different places, so my work is always interesting! In the picture I am giving a talk to foresters in North Carolina.
