A noted biologist, Dr. Elliott Haimoff, founded Global Science Productions in 1990. From its beginning as a TV documentary production company, Dr. Haimoff’s Global Science Productions has had a long history of developing space, science, health, history and nature shows that have been well-received by broadcast audiences all over the U.S., as well as in over 35 countries worldwide. Dr. Haimoff received his Ph.D. in Biology from Cambridge University’s Pembroke College in the U.K. He pioneered the development of several specific computer software programs used for biological scientific analyses of a wide variety of animals and human behavior, back in the days when mainframe computers used punch-cards.
Haimoff was also the very first scientist in history to use the fledgling videotape format as a tool for analyzing animal behavior both in a laboratory setting and in the wild. Back then, in the mid-1970s, “portable” or “field” video recorders were custom-made, limited edition prototypes so weighty they required two crew-members to carry around, and videotapes were hand-spooled onto reel-to-reel decks.
