BBC Life Scientific - E.O. Wilson - bbc
Humanity has Palelithic emotions, Medieval Institutions, and (through science) god-like power"- "that is an extremely dangerous combination - E.O Wilson
In 1996, Wilson officially retired from teaching at Harvard University, where he continues to hold the positions of Professor Emeritus and Honorary Curator in Entomology. wikipedia
I'm inspired by the BBC Life Scientific interview with Wilson where he recounts his own career developing much of the science, living through the scientific battles, embracing mathematics over rhetoric, and then dedicating his later years to species diversity as a direct consequence of his deep understanding of life's processes.
Wilson has been described as the "world's most evolved biologist" and even as "the heir to Darwin". He's a passionate naturalist and an absolute world authority on ants. Over his long career he's described 450 new species of ants.
