Students in my mineralogy class on top of the bare, rocky peak of Giant Mountain in the Adirondack Mountains of New York in 2006. They are tired and proud of having just climbed 3300 ft to the top of the towering peak. Accomplishments like this build self confidence. Click this image to go to my teaching webpage.

Applying science to answer questions whose answers are not in the textbooks... yet!
I love science, so I do a lot of science outreach to the community by visiting schools and hosting groups in my lab at the university. This is a photo of me working with a gaggle of excited five-year-old kids looking at rocks with a powerful, polarizing, petrographic microscope. Click here to visit my service and outreach webpage.
