COMMUNITY & OUTREACH
    Cleveland is filled with opportunities for community involvement through university organizations and a variety of other venues. I enjoy getting involved with these types of groups not only because I can participate in the activities they sponsor but also because I get to meet all kinds of interesting people. The links below provide information about some of the things I have been doing outside of academia- or at least some acvities that are related to it more peripherally.
ReptileFest 2002

ReptileFest is an excellent place to learn about the fascinating world of reptiles and amphibians.

Talks and Presentations
The Cooperative Extension Service was established in 1914 with the idea that it would make agricultural and mechanical research from "land-grant" universities available to the public. I help fulfill that mission in my capacity as a Master Gardener volunteer. I have been involved with the development of severel museum exhibits in at the Field Museum and the Cleveland Museum of Natural History. Most recently, I  collaborated with personnel of the American Museum of Natural History on their outstanding Extreme Mammals exhibit.
I'm the coordinator for Science Café Cleveland, an informal public forum for discussing science oganized by the chapter of Sigma Xi here at Case. Science cafés are currently active throughout the U.S. and the rest of the world; ours has been going since April 2007.
As my schedule permits, I give presentations to groups of all ages and sizes on mammals, dinosaurs, fossils, reptiles & amphibians, and other related topics. Until I get my own page up and running, you can send me an e-mail requesting additional information.
