Presentations & Publications

I enjoy presenting to groups! Please email me to discuss your needs and set up a date!

You may not know this, but university scientists do not receive payment for publications. Rather, we make publications possible through carefully reviewing others’ work (for free!) and paying (a lot!) to publish our own. As this lab believes in science for all, we make our articles freely accessible by sharing our work here. If for some reason you cannot access a work below, please just contact me. Information is power. Let us empower you.
