Profile

I joined the Kenyon faculty in 2000 following a postdoctoral appointment at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. My teaching responsibilities include molecular biology, environmental toxicology, and introductory biology. I direct an NIH-funded undergraduate research program investigating the effects of dioxin-like pollutants on the gene expression, physiology, and development of amphbians. I am also an instructor in the Kenyon Institute in Biomedical and Scientific Writing, an annual summer workshop for physicians and scientists.
