Pimm on the Oil Spill Wildlife Crisis

Just because I am no longer at Duke, doesn't mean I don't keep tabs on Stuart Pimm and the rest of the family. Recently Stuart spoke to the Endangered Species Coalition about the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico describing how it's been so devastating to wildlife, why scientists cannot predict the long-term ecological damage, and the scale of restoration that will be required. This is a sad, but very important podcast and I encourage readers to listen here. You can also read more from Stuart on biodiversity at his terrific National Geographic blog.
