Naomi Pierce can't explain why she loves butterflies, but she does.
Pierce has built her career upon observing, studying and theorizing about the winged insects. More specifically, she has spent most of her time studying the mutualism between butterfly and ant species. In her work, she has come across an unusual relationship whereby ants protect caterpillars from predators and the caterpillars...
Indeed, beginning with her first trip there, Pierce has developed an affinity for Australia, where she now spends three months of every year, living in cabins in the bush.
Now at Harvard, Pierce will spend one year exclusively doing research, and will begin teaching next fall. Pierce says she has been working with students ever since leaving college, serving as a teaching fellow in "just about every bio class at Harvard."
And that's where you'll find Naomi Pierce.
