In the Press some popular accounts of our research
We have been lucky to have worked with the amazing Joshua E. Brown, a Staff Writer at the University of Vermont and Catherine Longmire at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, both excellent communicators of science, to help us describe some of our work to the general public.
