Andrew Berry

With an undergraduate degree in zoology from Oxford and a Ph.D. in evolutionary genetics from Princeton, Andrew's expertise is on how Darwinian processes affect natural populations. His research has taken him into the bowels of molecular biology labs (in pursuit of the fruit fly) and to more far-flung locales, such as New Guinea (giant rats), Borneo (butterflies), the Ecuadorian Andes (more butterflies), and the Faeroe Islands (wrens). Currently a research associate at the Museum of Comparative Zoology, he teaches both at Harvard and overseas and writes extensively for both scientific and popular audiences. His books include Infinite Tropics (2002) about Alfred Russel Wallace and DNA (2003, co-authored with James D. Watson), published to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the discovery of the DNA double helix. Andrew has previously traveled with the HMNH to Antarctica and the Falkland Islands serving as HMNH study leader.
