Where in the world is Dr. Bauer?

Angola: “After 40 years of civil war, my colleagues and I were able to enter Angola as it began to open for scientists. We have described 36 new species of lizards and snakes, and much of our work on lizard malaria is being conducted here.”

India: “Herpetology in India has undergone a renaissance in the last 25 years, and I have been able to participate in it by publishing my own work and teaching in an intensive herpetology school for undergraduates, many of whom have since become close colleagues.”

Namibia: “This is my favorite place to  work, and I have had more than 50 trips here, including one as a Fulbright African Area Specialist. I think my work sorting out the evolutionary relationships of most of the major lizard groups here has been my most important contribution.”
