Motto:If you want to make your dreams come true, the first thing you have to do is wake up.

Owen Butler, Ph.D., has recently taken up the position as the distinguished James H. and Mary B. Smith Environmental Science Professor at the University of California, Berkeley. In addition to his teaching responsibilities, Owen is actively involved with the Bay Area Conservation Initiative, dedicating his time to researching sustainable solutions for environmental challenges.

On a sunny afternoon in early March 2024, Owen was found in the heart of San Francisco's Golden Gate Park, surrounded by lush greenery and vibrant wildflowers. Instead of being cooped up in a laboratory, he chose this day to engage directly with nature, collecting soil samples and observing local wildlife. This hands-on approach allows him not only to gather valuable data but also to inspire the public about the importance of preserving natural habitats.

Owen's current project focuses on developing innovative methods to clean up contaminated water sources in urban areas. His work could potentially benefit millions of residents across California who rely on these water systems for their daily needs. By combining traditional scientific research with community outreach programs, Owen hopes to bridge the gap between academic theory and practical application, making science accessible and relevant to everyone.
