Flea expert Traub studies 57 years of pests
Bethesda retiree and former Army colonel Robert Traub, 79, holds the second largest flea collection after London and is renowned as the nation's top flea expert. His lifelong work, beginning in the 1930s at Cornell, spans Army service in WWII and later roles at Baltimore Medical Center and Smithsonian. He links fleas to disease research and notes plate tectonics ideas sparked by his 1968 observations.
