Who doesn't enjoy getting up before dawn to explore a dark, soggy jungle? OK, there may be a few who don't, but most people enjoy a vicarious adventure filled with some of the most beautiful birds in the world and a few weird insects and exotic companions along. I have participated in biological expeditions to many parts of the tropics. The work is not always fun, but it is always interesting and often quite exciting.

What will students learn from this talk?

  • Why science and adventure go hand and hand.
  • The value of international cooperation.
  • How writing can arise from your passion.
