I am the Director of the Center for Ecosystem Sentinels at the University of Washington in the Department of Biology and hold the Wadsworth Endowed Chair in Conservation Science. Fieldwork has always been my passion, and my work spans 5 decades. In the 1970s I started working with Galapagos penguins to determine how many there were, and now am trying to expand their population by providing high quality nests. Fork-tailed storm-petrels in Alaska kept me busy for a decade, and my Magellanic penguins studies in Argentina continues for over 40 years. I also teach a Visual Storytelling class for Biology undergrads.
