C. W. Woodworth Award

Charles W. Woodworth (18651940) was the founder of the Entomology Department at the University of California, Berkeley. He made many significant contributions to the science of Entomology. His publications were very extensive and included nearly every field of entomology. A few of his most oustanding works are: "A List of the Insects of California (1903), The Wing Veins of Insects" (1906), "Guide to California Insects" (1913), and "School of Fumigation (1915). He was the first editor and first contributor to the University of California Publications in Entomology. He is also credited with first breeding Drosophila in quantity and with suggesting to W. E. Castle that Drosophila might be used for genetical work. He was an 1889 charter member of the American Association of Economic Entomologists. This group merged with the Entomological Society of America, founded 1906, in 1953. The Pacific Branch of the Entomological Society of America gives an annual award called the C. W. Woodworth Award. This award, the PBESA's largest, is for achievement in Entomology in the Pacific region of the United States over the previous ten years. This award is principally sponsored by C.W.'s great-grandson, Brian Holden, and his wife, Joann Wilfert, with additional support by Dr. Craig and Kathryn Holden, and Dr. Jim and Betty Woodworth.
