Biology
To me, research and teaching are variations on the same theme: educating students. I view my research with students as an extension of the classroom. More student research means more opportunity to provide a better educational experience.

Environmental Science
I take my students on geology field trips—from Wildwood Park and Tarantula Hills near campus, to Vasquez Rocks, the Mojave Desert, Owens Valley and Death Valley. Closer to Los Angeles, my Oceans class heads to the Malibu coast. In the field, students can put into context the rocks, minerals and physical earth processes they are learning about in lecture and lab.
