I'm a theoretical biologist, retired from university life, and therefore much more productive as a snowbird. I volunteer for the Gulf Specimen Marine Lab & Aquarium (http://www.gulfspecimen.org/gulf-specimen-lab-staff/), am an Adjunct Professor at Wayne State University, and do research on diatoms, embryogenesis and computed tomography. I'm author/editor of:
