Throughout my career, I’ve taught human anatomy and biological anthropology. I’ve also tried to give talks to local schools and libraries whenever possible. My research interests focus on functional morphology, particularly dental microwear analyses and what they can tell us about how teeth are used. As a result, I've tried to bring together data gathered from laboratory primates, museum samples, and primates in the wild to gain insights into the paleobiology of our ancestors. On the side, I enjoy photography and reading and writing haiku, tanka, senryu.
