About me

I am a biology professor. I have taught scientific writing courses since 2012 at six different universities in three countries. I have written more than 50 scientific publications and successful grant proposals, and I have peer reviewed many hundreds of manuscripts and proposals. I am the editor in chief of a highly-ranked scientific journal (Integrative and Comparative Biology) and have served as an editor at six scientific journals.

I am a Marine Biologist who studies how organisms swim and feed underwater.  Right now my research team and I are studying how carnivorous plants catch prey in their underwater traps.

In my spare time, I read fantasy novels and grow my on food.  I also co-host a monthly radio show (KFCF "Science a Candle in the Dark").
