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 Audubon 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, Abrahamson 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]
