Drewes (1946 – 2005) On Monday, July 4, 2005, those of us interested in annelids and their use as models in research and teaching lost a good friend and enthusiastic colleague. Charlie Drewes, Professor of Ecology, Evolution and Organismal Biology at Iowa State University, died in Ames, Iowa. Charlie was born and raised in Minnesota and received a bachelor ’ s degree in biology from Augustana College in South Dakota. As a National Science Foundation Fellow in the early 1970s, he completed both master ’ s and doctoral degrees in zoology at Michigan State University. He was recruited as an assistant professor to Iowa State University where he attained the rank of professor and, in 2003, was honored with the title of University Professor. As a physiologist at Iowa State University for 31 years, Charlie taught hundreds of students in neurobiology, invertebrate biology, advance vertebrate physiology and science ethics. Charlie mentored 19 graduate students in neurobiology research, many of them now mentoring students of their own at universities in California, Illinois, Texas, Vermont and Georgia, among others. He published over 50 refereed research articles and numerous book chapters, invited reviews and education - related publications. Many of his most important contributions followed his development of noninvasive, recording devices for detecting giant fi ber action potentials in freely moving worms. He applied this approach v vi In Memoriam to studies of escape refl ex physiology, annelid nerve regeneration and the sublethal effects of environmental toxicants. In the last decade or more, Charlie invested considerable effort in developing Lumbriculus variegatus as a tool for biological science education (see Chapter 10 ). With groups now interested in sequencing the genome of L. variegatus and with its expansion as a model in teaching and research laboratories, Charlie ’ s legacy might be linked to his keen enthusiasm for the California mudworm as a model for discovery. Charlie Drewes focused the last years of his life on educational outreach to high school and college science teachers. He conducted an annual “ total immersion ” teaching work- shop at Iowa Lakeside Laboratory in Lake Okoboji, Iowa. A legion of high school and community college biology teachers from 16 states participated in these workshops over the years. He conducted numerous invited workshops and presentations at local and national platforms, including a guest instructorship at the Woodrow Wilson National Fel- lowship Foundation and recurring visiting instructorships at Advanced Placement Biology workshops for State of Texas biology teachers at Texas A & M University. Thus, Charlie ’ s impact on biologists, and especially the group of individuals he fondly called wormolo- gists, was far broader than the borders of Iowa. Charlie was a recipient of several distin- guished teaching awards from Iowa State University, the Iowa Academy of Science and the National Association of Biology Teachers (NABT). In 2004, the NABT named him the National College Biology Teacher of the Year. Along with his research publications, Charlie produced a long list of useful documents, informational and procedural, on anne- lids and other invertebrates as tools for science education. This can be found online at a site ( http://www.eeob.iastate.edu/faculty/DrewesC/htdocs/ ) maintained by the Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Organismal Biology , Iowa State University. Charlie Drewes was willing to answer e - mails from wondering high school students at almost any time of the day or night. He would talk for hours at a time in person or by phone with colleagues seeking his knowledge. We will miss Charlie ’ s inexhaustible excite- ment toward biology and annelids in particular. His passing has created a void in our sci- entifi c community and in many of our hearts. Charlie enjoyed life and the lives of worms. Let us continue the joy.
