TEACHING      Since I'm associated with a university, much of my time involves teaching - both informally and in more formal settings.  Although some people consider teaching a chore, I enjoy the time I get to spend with students, and find that it is often a nice change of pace from research.  This page provides information about some of the classes and other educational activities I'm currently involved with, or that I've worked on in the past. The photo to the right is from the Kansas City Star; it was taken when I was at Union Station Kansas City for the opening of the Sue traveling exhibit.

Human Anatomy	Mammal Evolution	Students	The Field Museum
Perhaps my most useful skill is being able to teach human anatomy; I gained most of my formal teaching experience in this area and my primary teaching responsibilities also revolve around gross anatomy.	This is a new course I teach as part of the Evolutionary Biology program at Case.  It focuses on mammal diversity and most labs take place at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History.	Both undergraduate and graduate students have worked with me on a variety of research projects dealing with South American fossil mammals.	I've done several projects in conjunction with the Education Department at The Field Museum designed to teach fourth through eighth grade students about dinosaurs and paleontology.
