From the University of Sydney’s Biology Newsetter Issue 27:
Dr Margaret (Meg) Lowman’s (PhD 1983) email signature encourages you to ‘Enjoy nature!!’ – An attitude she has adopted throughout her career in canopy research and conservation advocacy.
Dr Lowman earned the nickname ‘Canopy Meg’ by sharing her research into the world’s rainforests with children via a distance learning program. Now the Chief of Science at the California Academy of Sciences, Dr Lowman spends more time communicating the importance of forest conservation than dangling from a rope. But as she says, “The stakes are high: saving forests and promoting forest restoration is critical for life on Earth.”
