Compton “Jim” Tucker

Compton “Jim” Tucker is a Senior Scientist in the Earth Sciences Division at NASA’s Goddard Spaceflight Center (GSFC). Tucker has been able to travel to some pretty exciting places to do research. This image was taken while in the field in the Amazon. Jim’s beard, usually white, appears red in this picture. He used a special native Amazonian fruit, to dye his hair red for fun.
