As part of Maine Public Broadcasting’s “Music That Moves Me” audio diary series, biology professor Nat Wheelwright talks about the orchestras and symphonies that his grandfather introduced him to as a boy, when his “world opened up to bird song.”

(Bowdoin Professor of Music Robert Greenlee gets in the mix on this clip, too.)

Additionally, research by Professor Wheelwright and colleagues, H. Williams, Iris Levin ’05, D. R. Norris, and A. Newman, recently appeared in Scientific American‘s “60-Second Science” series.
