Why Is Sonia Altizer Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Sonia M. Altizer is the Georgia Athletic Association Professor of Ecology in the University of Georgia, Odum School of Ecology. Early life Altizer was born as the daughter of Jim and Chris Altizer of Watkinsville, Georgia. She grew up in York, Pennsylvania. Her passion for biology and the natural world began when she received a gift of a microscope and a grow-your-own-butterflies kit on her twelfth birthday.
