COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
    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 that I probably wouldn't get to know otherwise.  The links below provide information about some of the things I've been doing outside of academia.
ReptileFest 2002

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

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 joined SigEp as an undergrad at The University of Iowa (Iowa City), and have remained involved in the organization ever since.  Visit my SigEp page to learn more about the organization and see some photos from SigEp events. 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.
