Research topics: Developmental biology; organogenesis; and the creation of multimedia educational materials in development.

Research program: My field of study is developmental biology. In this area, I am interested primarily in genetic controls and tissue interactions during embryonic development. I examine these using experimental and histological techniques. Presently, I work with digital video in the production of films and CD-ROMs of developing systems. I collaborate with Ronald Kozlowski in producing multimedia educational materials in developmental biology. I am also engaged in research on the history of embryology and the impact of modern developmental techniques on society. In this area, my concern is writing articles for general audiences.
