Dr. Scott V. Edwards, our 2023 Eisenmann Medalist, is the subject of a very interesting feature article in the latest issue of Harvard Magazine. The article, by Veronique Greenwood, traces Edwards’ career path and highlights some of his major contributions in molecular evolutionary biology, including studies on the evolution of the major histocompatibility complex in birds and his pioneering use of whole avian genomes to construct phylogenetic trees.
