Professor teaching GenBio, Marine Biology, Oceanography, Microbiology, and Zoology at a Community College in Southern California.

My research speciality is marine microbiology, focusing on harmful algal bloom ecology. I still manage a HAB monitoring citizen science project in SoCal, but my day to day life is currently devoted to working on increasing STEM student success with active learning pedagogy.

I don't create original posts often, but I read every day, and boost what I enjoy.

The real danger isn’t the vaccine it’s COVID-19.

The U.S. Forest Service has been eliminated. With the stroke of a pen.

"You cannot move a thirty-year watershed study. You cannot relocate a decades-long old-growth monitoring program. You cannot box up a forest and ship it to Colorado. When these facilities close, the experiments die."
