Jean Pennycook

Jean Pennycook is an educator and researcher who studies Adélie Penguins in Antarctica and educates others about what her science team is learning about the penguins.

Living for months camped near the Adélie Penguin colony at Cape Royds, Antarctica, educator and penguin researcher Jean Pennycook studies the behavior of the penguins as they come ashore, build their nests, lay eggs and raise their young. She works to educate others about what her science team is learning about the penguins, and how changes in the environment may effect the lives of the penguins. You can read some of Jean's articles on the penguins she studies on her blog.
