Woodworth]]''' ([[1865]]–[[1940]]) was the founder of the [[Entomology]] Division at the [[University of California, Berkeley]]. He made many significant contributions to the science of Entomology. His publications were very extensive and included nearly every field of entomology. A few of his most outstanding works are: "A List of the Insects of California ([[1903]]), The Wing Veins of Insects" ([[1906]]), "Guide to California Insects" ([[1913]]), and "School of Fumigation ([[1915]]). He was the first editor and first contributor to the University of California Publications in Entomology. He is also credited with first breeding [[Drosophila melanogaster|Drosophila]] in quantity and with suggesting to [[William E. Castle]] that Drosophila might be used for genetical work. He was an [[1889]] charter member of the American Association of Economic Entomologists. This group merged with the [[Entomological Society of America]], founded [[1906]], in [[1953]]. The Pacific Branch of the [[Entomological Society of America]] gives an annual award called the C. W. Woodworth Award. This award, the PBESA's largest, is for achievement in [[Entomology]] in the Pacific region of the United States over the previous ten years. This award is principally sponsored by C.W.'s great-grandson, Brian Holden, and his wife, Joann Wilfert, with additional support by Dr. Craig W. and Kathryn Holden, and Dr. Jim and Betty Woodworth. ==Award winners== {| border="1" cellpadding="2" |+ '''Partial List of C.
