Biography

I am a Professor of Biology in the Department of Science and Mathematics. I am the President of the American Microscopical Society. My research is on biodiversity, ecology, and conservation of snails, and biomechanics as well as biological pedagogy. My Ph.D. is from the University of Kansas (Ecology and Evolutionary Biology) and my B.A is from the University of Chicago (Biology with a specialization in Ecology and Evolution).
