I work in the Fox Lab at the University of South Florida. I learned about OpenWetWare by running across it on web, and I've joined because I would like to maintain a lab website through your software.

Education

 * 1989, PhD, University of Arizona
 * 1975, BA, University of California, Berkeley

Research interests

 * 1) Population biology
 * 2) Plant ecology & evolution
 * 3) Conservation biology
