Why Is George C. Steyskal Influential?

(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, George Constance Steyskal was an American entomologist who specialized in the taxonomy of the flies. Steyskal was born on March 30, 1989, in Detroit, the oldest of seven siblings. He worked in a factory to help the family and graduated from the Henry Ford Trade School, working as a tool-and-die maker and later being a superintendent of a workshop. He took an interest in entomology as an amateur and when the US Department of Agriculture announced a vacancy, he joined as an agricultural research technician at Washington, D.C. His promotions were slowed by his lack of formal academic qualifications. He worked from 1962 until his retirement in 1979 following which he worked at the National Museum of Natural History. After the death of his wife he moved to Florida and worked as a resident research associate at the Florida State Collection of Arthropods.
