Research Interest
Research Interests: Students in my Microbiology course conduct research to determine microbial metabolic diversity in water samples from Chehalem Ridge Natural Area and Fernhill Wetlands. The students analyze the data, determine the best way to display the data, and work together to prepare government agency reports for Metro and Clean Water Services. I am passionate about promoting community engagement in science through translational science, translating basic research into a format usable by individuals other than the basic researchers themselves. I regularly present at events such as Science Pub, Science on Tap, Portland Humanists Society, and various healthcare organizations on topics including the human gut microbiome, epigenetics, stem cell research, and genetic testing.
