 Jeffrey S. Pippen, U-M alumnus (1987, 1985), is a research associate in global climate change at Duke University, Durham, NC. While at EEB, Pippen studied plant taxonomy with Ed Voss, professor emeritus and curator emeritus for the U-M Herbarium. Pippen got interested in birds and butterflies while taking field courses (and being a teacher assistant for Voss) at the U-M Biological Station.
“Here at Duke I ended up going into CO2 ecology and climate change, but my first love is still getting out in nature and going birding and butterflying!” he said.
Pippen was awarded the Clarence F. Korstian Award for Outstanding Contributions to the Duke Forest including teaching, research, and service. He is also owner and president of Pippen Enterprises Nature Photography, Durham, NC. He has recently published photos in several national field guides and textbooks as well as scientific articles in various journals.
