Scientist, Author & Science Communicator

Dr. Ann Göth is an ecologist, science teacher, passionate writer and science communicator. She is the author of two books on Australian brush-turkeys, one for adults (Amazing Annoying Birds) and one for kids (Bush-turkey Needs a Friend). Her previous book, “Volcanic Adventures in Tonga” is a vivid account of her very first adventure as a conservation ecologist. Ann started her writing career in 2008, as coauthor of “Moundbuilders”, a book about megapode birds in Australia. Her career has taken her from Austria to islands in Tonga, the UN in Geneva and to universities, government agencies and schools in Australia. She now lives in Sydney, Australia, with her husband and son. Ann’s writing reflects a strong passion to bring natural history and conservation issues closer to non-scientists and scientists alike.
