This is very sad news. Scott was a super important person to me, helping me find my feet when I first showed up at OU.... Gasp.... 23 years ago. In the years past, it was always nice to run into him and chat about vertebrate bio.

Certainly, one of my favorite memories was a reception for a speaker at Scott's home. We were all just kinda hanging out.... passing a *giant* boa constrictor around.

Dear friends and Colleagues,

It is with great sadness that I convey the news our colleague Scott Moody has passed away. I have no details at this time but will forward information as it becomes available.

Scott was a member of OCEES from the very beginning and a staunch advocate for all things evolution and the science that supports it. Although he had officially retired, he remained active attending Ecolunch, seminars, and most importantly tirelessly curating the Biological Sciences vertebrate collection. Scott also was a tremendous resource for all the herpetologists in the department providing information and locations where to find different herps in Ohio. His knowledge also served OH-DNR helping to preserve rare and endangered reptiles and amphibians throughout the state. Scott was lifelong teacher who was well liked by his students and had a penchant for teaching interpretation and critical thinking skills. His positive contributions to OCEES students and faculty will long be remembered.

Rest peacefully Dr. Moody.

Sincerely,
Willem
