About Russ Benedict
Russ Benedict has taught at Central College since 2002 and has spent most of his life exploring the prairies and woods of the Midwest. Although his graduate education emphasized mammals, he loves to study birds, insects, plants and all other aspects of nature. His favorite word is billions. Billions of tiny steps have created the enormous problems that face our world, and billions of tiny solutions will help to solve them.
