non-scientific interests
My activism has lapsed in grad school, but many causes remain close to my heart. Links to a few useful web pages:

Hiking and camping, especially near Mountain Lake Biological Station, where I conduct research.
   
     
Getting to the more superficial, I enjoy cheering for my alma mater's athletic teams, even through the recent downturn in football performance (Thank you Coach Wannstadt).  Lastly, having spent my formative years in southeastern Pennsylvania, I'm very fond of all things Philadelphian, in particular baseball and soft pretzels.


American curiosities
 Plant biology is my favorite but I do occasionally hang out with the rats here.
