Many of my assignments as a contributing editor at OnEarth give me the chance to tag along with researchers in the field and report on the excitement and frustration of environmental science in progress.  I focus on scientists as human beings, with human passions and failings.  See Fires Down Under , Empty Nest Syndrome, Mammoth Mystery,  The Vanishing Bee, and The Giving Trees.
