showing evidence of transgenes in wild Mexican maize; current research
projects include mapping the biogeography of transgenics. Recently he

contemplative walks in Strawberry Canyon and for collaborations with
indigenous people while doing research in natural resources.

She is also a founding member of the board of the Citizens for East

Trail and concerned over this amazing habitat and its salubrious
effect on the two-footed creatures that share it.
