Paul, died August 9 surrounded by family from complications of prostate cancer. Both books drew from her Smart Earth Project seeking to mobilize digital technologies to address some of the most pressing challenges of the Anthropocene. Karen’s next book Gaia’s Web (upcoming with MIT Press) explores how interconnected digital and natural networks will impact biodiversity conservation, environmental governance, and cultivate greater empathy for other species. It also reaches a broad public through her recent TED Talk. The book garnered immediate critical acclaim, including from the very scientists it featured. In The Sounds of Life (Princeton 2021), Karen builds a prismatic portrait of planetary ecology through the medium of chirps, buzzes, and low cetacean moans. In recent years, Karen brought her geographical fascination with environmental perception and scientific world-making to the realm of sound. She is the author of more than 100 academic publications and seven books. Twenty-one years later, she leaves an astonishing record of achievement: as Fellow of the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study 2022-3 as recipient of a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship 2022, a SSHRC Connection Award and Trudeau Fellowship in 2017 and as Stanford University’s Annenberg Fellow in Communication, and Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada’s College of New Scholars.

He spent many happy days exploring peaks and valleys from the Himalayas to the Alps to the Appalachians of his native Virginia. Jim was an active mountain climber and lifelong conservationist. He also chaired the University's Arboretum Committee for over 20 years, often saying that this was his favorite University committee. He was a Fellow and former President of the Virginia Academy of Sciences and a board member of the Virginia Museum of Natural History. At UVA, Jim chaired the Biology Department from 1984 to 1987 served as director of the Mountain Lake Biological Station for thirteen summers between 19 and mentored several generations of graduate students. His research on land snails took him to the British Isles, Australia, and on many trips to Polynesia, where he studied the native snails of the genus Partula. Jim's main research interests were ecological genetics and the evolution of animal populations. In 1962, he joined the Biology faculty of the University of Virginia. He served in the US Army (1955-1956) and then taught for two years at Washington and Lee University in Lexington, before returning to Oxford to earn a D.Phil. Jim was born on March 13, 1930, in Lexington, Virginia, and he was educated at Davidson College (1947-1951) and Merton College, Oxford (Rhodes Scholar, 1951-1954).
