Welcome to My Blog

Welcome everyone. It is a busy week for me here in Lafayette. I am administering final exams in two courses I am teaching at South Louisiana Community College and then I am headed to Tennessee!

While in TN, I hope I can collect a bunch of female false map turtles (Graptemys pseudogeographica) so I can start measuring differences in metabolic rates as a response to prey types. The summer has been fairly dry, which should lead to great snorkeling conditions.

As the semester approaches, I will write in much more detail about myself, my research interests, and the whatever else (which is sure to include stressful rants about my upcoming proposal defense and studying for comprehensive exams)!
