Paul Rabaut is a professor of science at Hillsborough Community College in Tampa, Florida. When he isn’t in the classroom, you can find him wandering in the mountains of California or weeding the tomato plants in his garden. A self proclaimed “maggot farmer,” he has dedicated himself to scientific literacy and educating his community about environmental issues, while limiting his own ecological footprint in the process. He and his wife, Kali, started Suncoast Compost, a community composting business focused on curbside pickup and waste solutions for residents, businesses, and events.
