He served as a professor of entomology at San Jose State University for 40 years and had a museum named after him. Edwards was a vocal critic of Rachel Carson and opposed efforts to ban DDT, famously ingesting the substance to prove its safety to humans.

He passed away while hiking at the age of 84.
