These are some images related to both my research and personal experience. Enjoy.

Figure 1. This is a graphite drawing I made of my advisor Maxine Watson.

Figure 2. This is a graphite drawing I made of Michael Tansey lecturing. Dr. Tansey teaches L111, evolution and diversity. I am one of the AIs in this class and run six discussion sections. I also attend lectures in order to be aware of what the students are learning. Generally I take notes, but on 2007-04-16, I decided to draw a sketch of Dr. Tansey. Note that he enjoys discussing controversial issues when it is possible to approach them from a clinical perspective. The quotes read as follows.

1) I can make an argument for first cousin marriages, but I don't have time for that today.

2) oh oh, it's preferred in some cultures

Figure 3. Cinnamon fern, in the Smokies. Taken on a fern foray with Mike Barker.

Figure 4. Taken out my office window on a sunny evening.

Figure 5. My office window, with the sun rising.

Figure 6. Collaborator and friend Dan Johnson at IU.

Figure 7. Collaborator and friend Mike Barker at IU and UBC

Figure 8. This is a view of the valley of Vermont or the Bennington Valley. You can see the Bennington Monument (center left), Mount Anthony (center right), and Mount Greylock in Massachusetts just right of the Bennington monument, far in the distance on the horizon. This was one of my home bases in the summer of 2006.

Figure 9. My parents live here in Dorset, VT. I spend a lot of time here in the summer. It frequently looks like this.

Figure 10. This is the same view as figure 9, taken on Dec. 26th. It is a beautiful place at all times.

Figure 11. I do a lot of work on my markerboard. This is an example of that work.

Figure 12. I also goof around a lot on the markerboard. This is a markerboard drawing done in the Bever lab downstairs of the labs Axolotls. I was taking care of the labs pet Axolotls, which I named Hugo and Tlaloc (if they were males) or Maxine and Meredith (if they were females). As they can switch sexes, it was appropriate that they have both male and female names. They were slimy, and liked to stare. Due to an accidental chemical contamination, they died last fall. I was very fond of them, and did not like how they died. Here I am drawing a picture of the Axolotl pair being contacted by a sentient extraterrestrial axolotl. Who has arrived in a aquarium spaceship.

Figure 13. I enjoy drawing the world, and frequently do so. This is a map of the world drawn on the Bever lab markerboard.

Figure 14. This is my cat Little, she is afraid of everyone in the world except me and my mother and father. Occasionally her shadow frightens her.

Figure 15. My puppy Duchess. She is 17 years old. She used to study tennis balls, but now focuses her research on bacon. Duchy died on August 16, 2007.
