David Haskell, biologist and author of the 2012 Natural History Literature award-winning book The Forest Unseen, is one of the plenary session leaders at the 16th Annual Project WET USA Water Education Conference in Denver in August.
In addition receiving great acclaim for The Forest Unseen, which was favorably reviewed in The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Kirkus and elsewhere, Dr. Haskell has also been recognized for his teaching methods:
His classes have received national attention for the innovative ways in which they combine scientific exploration, contemplative practice, and action in the community. In 2009, the Carnegie and CASE Foundations named him Professor of the Year for Tennessee, an award given to college professors of who have achieved national distinction and whose work shows "extraordinary dedication to undergraduate teaching."
