Lecturer, Ph.D., New York University
Research Interests: My Research interests include phylogeny of North American water frogs (Rana) and the evolution of primitive snakes. My students and I are currently studying color polymorphisms in Plethodon cinereus, the red-backed salamander, by sequencing the gene for the Melanocortin Receptor (MC-1-R).
Courses: Physiology of Cells and Organisms (BIO 101), Heredity, Evolution and Ecology (BIO 102), Herpetology: Biology of Amphibians and Reptiles (BIO 321) and Topics in Ecological and Evolutionary Biology (BIO 487)
