I earned my Pennsylvania Teaching Certificate in Biology through the
Teacher Intern Program at Wilson College
in Chambersburg, PA. I also intend to get certified to teach chemistry.
Issues in Life Sciences Education - this site has not been updated since
I left the University of Wisconsin, but it still has some pretty useful links.
Oak wilt - a lecture in hypertext format - Lots of images, so this will
load slowly. Is intended for use in the lecture hall with a direct
connection to the local area network. I am currently looking for
space to house this. My account at the UW was deleted when I left.
I earned my B.S. in Ecology at
Juniata College in 1992. Juniata is a small, liberal arts college
in Huntingdon, PA, the heart of the ridge and valley region of central Pennsylvania.
Raystown lake is a nearby, man-made lake formed by damming the Juniata River
(Interestingly, "Juniata" was the native word for "beautiful river", thus
the lake was formed by damming the "Beautiful River River"). I became
interested in Plant Pathology through my interest in Ecology. Ecology
is the study of interactions between living things and their environment.
Plant Pathologists study how plants interact with their pathogens, and the
effects of the environment on these interactions.
