Abe Borker
Educator, Ecologist, Nature Detective, Program Director @ UCSC Doris Duke Conservation Scholars Program
Hello! Things on this website fall into three categories
Teaching - Training the next generation of scientists and conservation leaders, and researching inquiry based pedagogy
Research - I enjoy answering useful questions that can help us protecting biodiversity. I'm really keen on soundscapes and biodiviersity monitoring improvements to drive more positive conservation outcomes.
Multimedia - I like to take pictures, and tell stories with multimedia. One day I'll organize it on to this website! In the meantime here's a gallery of some of my wildlife photography , and pictures of Antarctic birds, mammals and landscapes. Oh and plankton, because they are amazing.
