Overview

There are many ways to become involved in research as an undergraduate. The easiest way is to talk with a professor whose research is of interest to you.

Students who work with me tend to be interested in conservation, wildlife, and animals. After graduation from SLU, they tend to migrate towards graduate school, professional work in conservation, and veterinary medicine.

I look forward to opportunities to do research with students. However, I expect a lot from students who work with me.

 If you are intersted in exploring opportunities to work in my research group, please set up a meeting with me. Usually students working with me have taken one of my classes, though doing so is not a requirement. In general, students volunteer in my lab first. If, after volunteering, you are still interested in my work, I can often find funds to pay you for continued participation. However, students are not paid for research for which they are receiving academic credit.

Folks who are unwilling to get dirty, cold, wet, tired, and mosquito-ridden need not apply.
