Appearances

"Wake Up and Smell the Coffee" is one
of my most popular cruise ship presentations 

Most of my appearances are now as a guest lecturer on cruise ships

I cover Nature, ecosystems, ancient and modern crops, and even gardening. I work hard to make science fun and interesting. For some details on how this works, here's an article I wrote after my first cruise ship gig, Reaching New Audiences.
