B.2. ADVISING AND MENTORING

ADVISING

1. OSU advisor to 16-19 OSU Zoology, General Science, and Biology students per

year who chose the pre-veterinary option. 2005-2009. My advisees included

students at all stages of their undergraduate and post baccalaureate education

seeking advising on becoming veterinarians. Student interests ranged from

large and small mammal medicine to marine mammals, wild animals, zoo

animals, and exotic pets. Students typically met with me for 45 minutes 1-3

times/year.

MENTORING

2. University Honors College thesis advisor: Vincent Adams, Environmental

Sciences major, BS 2007. Fecundity and trophic preference of Rhopalosiphum

padi on selected Oregon annual and perennial grasses.

3. University Honors College thesis advisor to Canan Schumann, Pharmacy major,

BS 2008. Resource uptake and host tissue chemistry: implications for

competition and disease. Current status: Pharm.D. graduate student in

Pharmacy, OSU.

4. Collaborated with 3 undergraduates, a local high school teacher, and a research

technician on a peer-reviewed research article (see Borer et al Eco. Apps. 2009)

5. Advisor to 6 Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) summer research

students (1 Hispanic, 1 Asian, 3 women). Projects included aphid experiments

and observations in the lab and field as well as an informatics project examining

continental-scale nitrogen deposition, plant production, and arthropod

communities in grass-dominated Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) sites.

Four of these students have gone on to pursue graduate degrees. 2006-2008.

6. Advising and mentoring at Oregon State University for 32 undergraduate

students (17 female and 15 male) in 9 different majors who worked in my lab in

a variety of capacities (work study, grant funded/REU, or credit).

7. I have mentored and advised 14 temporary full-time (post-baccalaureate) field

assistants who have helped collect data during my California and Oregon field

research trips. Many have gone on to graduate school or are pursuing careers in

the biological sciences.

8. Mentoring, advising, and collaborative work on two summer research projects

(2006-2008) done in my lab for a West Albany High School science teacher

(see Murdock Foundation Partners in Science grant).

9. I have provided friendly reviews of 4-6 proposals and manuscripts per year for

graduate students in labs other than my own, and I write >15 recommendation

letters each year for undergraduate and graduate students.
