Family & Kangaroos | CANCELLED: East Bay Science Cafe | Albany

What’s it like to do field work in remote corners of the world AND raise a family? At this special Science Cafe, go on an Australian adventure with Dr. McCullough as he shares his fond memories of mixing family and field research.

In 1985 and 1986, Dr. Dale McCullough studied kangaroos in the Australian outback and decided to be with his family rather than leave them behind. His kids were 2 and 5 years old, and his son went to school by 2-way radio. They lived in an old abandoned tin building that had been used by Australian sheep sheerers.
