Dr. Baldwin is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Her teaching approach was methodical, covering the background information on policy and regulations as well as various UAVs, their usefulness in research and for monitoring sea turtle nesting sites. She was patient as we learned the basics of pre-flight preparations and flight with UAVs as well as the differences between and benefits of the available software. I would highly recommend her training to anyone interested in using drones for environmental research!
