PUBLIC OUTREACH AND OTHER EXPERIENCE

 Website construction, along with my collaborator John Cooley (Yale University).  The site, at the University of Michigan Museum of Zoology, (http://insects.ummz.lsa.umich.edu/fauna/michigan_cicadas/periodical/Index.html) is the most highly ranked website on periodical cicadas via a Google search on "periodical cicada".  (1996-)

 Assisted John Cooley with website construction ("Cicada Central") in collaboration with Chris Simon, University of Connecticut.  This web resource is a center for exchanging research data on Cicadidae (with emphasis on periodical cicadas and New Zealand Cicadas). (2001-)

 Collaborated with multiple documentary filmmakers on projects involving the periodical cicadas, including: Japan Television Workshop Co., Ltd., Pixom Productions (Canada), BBC-TV, Home and Garden TV, and NRK (Norway). (1998-2005)

 Provided photographs of cicadas and stick insects for publication in field guides or natural history books in the USA, New Zealand and Australia, and also on websites.

 

VOLUNTEER EXPERIENCE

 Visits to curate Cicadidae at the Natural History Museum of New York, the Staten Island Museum, and the Florida State Collection of Arthropods (2008).

 2004 and 2007 BioBlitzes, Two Rivers Magnet Middle School, East Hartford, CT.  Biological inventory of school and surrounding grounds for creation of teaching collection and student collecting experience.
