This ten-minute documentary explores the life of Senekerim Dohanian, a USDA entomologist from 1915-1959 who was instrumental in developing biological control methods against the gypsy moth, the European corn borer, the filbert worm, and other insects. The film, which won the 2009 Wyoming History Day award for individual documentary in the junior division, was written and produced by Dohanian’s 12-year-old, great-great nephew Robert Coulter. ESA member Mary Louise Flint (UC Davis) is featured briefly. Click here for the documentary.
