Presentation of my research and teaching scholarship is an important component of my professional program. I have been fortunate to not only have displayed aspects of my individual or collaborative work at many scientific conferences, but also to have been invited to speak at several domestic and international universities and workgroup meetings sponsored by the federal government.
