Publications
Did you know that scientists don't get paid for the articles they publish in scientific journals? In fact, for many journals, the scientist actually has to pay to have the article published! So, if you're ever interested in reading one of my articles, please don't pay to access it (that money goes to the publisher, not me!). That said, I do my best to publish articles that are open access (free to view). If for some reason can't access one of my articles below, check Google Scholar or ResearchGate. If that doesn't work, just shoot me an email and I'd be more than happy to send you a copy!
