Dr. Dave Pawson is a Senior Research Scientist / Marine Biologist with the museum’s Department of Invertebrate Zoology primarily studying echinoderms, especially sea urchins, sea cucumbers, brittle stars, sea lilies, and their relatives.

Over the course of his career, he has completed field work in a great variety of marine habitats all over the world. One good reason Dave Pawson has been so successful in his 50 years at NMNH is that he is good at finding things.
