Brief Bio:
Leland Abbott was recruited by the Commonwealth Serum Laboratory, Australia's largest pharmaceutical company, after majoring in botany and minoring in biochemistry. His love of the outdoors made him a shoo in for field research and he has cultivated many skills that are required to explore the remote corners of the Earth.  After many years of scouring the planet for exotic plants, Abbott has risen to a position where he regularly organizes and leads expeditions. 

Abbott is heading back to Australia after his latest expedition to present the fruits of his labor. He hopes to take it easy for a few weeks before heading back to explore parts unknown.
