Dr. James Adams, Professor of Biology, will present “Butterflies and
Moths: Not The Wimps They Appear To Be" at a Dalton State Lunch &
Learn on Thursday, September 20, from 12 noon to 1:00 pm. The lunchtime
program will be held at the College’s James E. Brown Center at the
north end of the campus.
A world-renowned entomologist, Dr. Adams is the Dalton State Foundation's 2012 Excellence in Teaching Award honoree.
“I liked bugs from age two,” Adams says, “but I got serious about
it at age nine or 10, when I started to take good care of the
specimens. My mom started me collecting – it took big time. I didn’t
collect baseball cards; I collected butterflies and moths.”
Adams completed his PhD at the University of Kansas, where he
served as curatorial assistant for the university Lepidoptera
collection, the first person to focus on it in almost a century. He came
to Dalton State in 1990.
Reservations and advance payment are required by September 18,
and may be made by calling 706-272-4473. Cost is $10 and includes lunch.
