Warren G. Abrahamson is an American biologist. He is Professor of Biology Emeritus at Bucknell University. He retired in 2012, having begun at the college as a teacher and researcher in 1973.[1]
Early life and career
Abrahamson, who was born to Warren and Alice Abrahamson,[2] graduated from the University of Michigan.[1]
In 1972, he was awarded the Lindback Award for Distinguished Teaching. A decade later, he was awarded The Class of 1956 Lectureship Award.[1] In 1984, he was awarded the National Audobon Society's William Dutcher Award for Outstanding Service to the Audubon Cause at the Regional Level (Mid-Atlantic Region).
He was elected a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 2008.[1][3]
Bucknell Greenhouse
Around 1990, he helped design the Bucknell Biology Greenhouse during the department's relocation from the Botany Building.[4][5] He created a self-guiding tour for the greenhouse,[6] which is located on the fourth (rooftop) floor of the Robert L. Rooke Science Center.[7] Julia Knickerbocker was the greenhouse's caretaker at the Botany Building.[8] She was succeeded by Dr. Mark Spiro, who is now Associate Professor of Biology and Bucknell Farm's director.[9] Tasha Hall has held the role since 2022.[10]
Upon Abrahamson's retirement in 2012, Dr. Chris Martine succeeded him.[11]
Personal life
Abrahamson is married to Chris, with whom he lives on Shamokin Mountain, near Lewisburg, Pennsylvania.[1] Their daughter, Jill, died in 2017, aged 44.[2]
