R. L. RABB ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE LECTURES |
| The R.L. Rabb Environmental Science Lectures are designed to raise the level of appreciation within and outside of the scientific community for the interdependencies among all forms of life. The series honors one of NC State University’s most influential scientists. Dr. Robert L. Rabb, served on the faculty of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences’ Department of Entomology, from 1953 to 1983. He was a pioneer in developing ecologically sound approaches to insect pest management. Well before the publication of Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring in 1962, Bob Rabb was conducting experiments aimed at finding alternative biological approaches for controlling agricultural pest species without causing undue harm to the environment. In addition to his influential research contributions, Bob Rabb had a major impact on the lives and professional development of other faculty and students through his thoughtful and generous approach to academic life. |
