Edward Smith Deevey Jr. (3 December 1914 – 29 November 1988), born in #AlbanyNewYork, was a prominent American #ecologist and #paleolimnologist, and an early protégé of #GEvelynHutchinson at #YaleUniversity. He was a creative pioneer in several areas, including quantitative #palynology, cycling of natural #isotopes, #biogeochemistry, #populationDynamics, #systematics and #ecology of freshwater #zooplankton, and he promoted the use of life tables in ecology. In 1938.
Notes on ##UAP Discussions : Students and researchers should really by now be fully acquainted with the contemporary work of Dr. #BeatrizVillarroel and her cohort. Students in particular can get a good look at the #systematics and technical requirements for poking and prodding a #dataset and deriving challenge resistent statistics to support or refute the inevitable questions that #Science is required to ask. The course you can’t take yet is in there. It’s spread out all over the place otherwise
