2005 Smith Nature Symposium
​Keynote Address: Sy Montgomery

To research books, films, and articles, Sy Montgomery has been chased by an angry silverback gorilla in Zaire and bitten by a vampire bat in Costa Rica. She has worked in a pit crawling with 18,000 snakes in Manitoba and handled a wild tarantula in French Guiana. She has been deftly undressed by an orangutan in Borneo, hunted by a tiger in India, and swum with piranhas, electric eels and dolphins in the Amazon.  Tonight, Sy will recount her recent adventures in Southeast Asia. 

2005 Award Winner: Debra K. Moskovits
