Obstacles
When And Where
Despite having an advanced degree and more than 20 publications to his credit, Turner found it difficult to find employment at a major U.S. university, possibly as a result of racism or his preference to work with young African American students.
(February 3, 1867- February 14, 1923) He was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, but he lived in Chicago, Illinois. He has made a baseline for other scientist to figure out how to communicate with other species.Turner was the first person to discover that insects can hear and alter behavior based on previous experience. He showed that insects were capable of learning, illustrating (in two of his most famous research projects) that honey bees can see in color and recognize patterns. He conducted some of these experiments while working at Sumner without the benefit of research assistants or laboratory space.
Contributions
Mr. Turner was authority on insect and the 1st to prove insects could hear. Several schools have been named in Turner's honor in St. Louis, Missouri, the city where he spent so many years as a teacher. On the campus of Clark Atlanta University, he is remembered on the Tanner-Turner Hall building. And children have learned about his influential work though the 1997 children's book Bug Watching with Charles Henry Turner by M.E. Ross.
