But there have been plenty of Jews who break that mold — #AbrahamCahan, founder of the Forward, was himself a #birder. In To Life: Jews Exploring #Nature, #author #JoelGreenberg, with #JudithWinston, a #research associate at the #Smithsonian Marine Station in #Florida, tells the life stories of a group of #Jewish #researchers, #naturalists and #environmentalists. I spoke with #Greenberg, a research associate of the #FieldMuseum and the #Chicago Academy of Sciences Peggy Notebaert #Nature #Museum, book author and avid birder who lives in #Westmont, #IL, about the accomplished and often adventurous lives of the #scientists he profiled. This conversation has been edited for length and clarity."

J'ai l'impression que l'anglais préfère "identify" (souvent même "ID").
