My original scientific training was in marine botany and ecology, and in my first position as curator of algae at the United States National Museum of Natural History, my research focused on the roles of algae in the coral reef ecosystem. While my interests have broadened over the years, I have maintained my membership in the principal phycological societies and followed the literature to stay generally abreast of the field.
