Presentations

This is a page where I'll put up powerpoint files from presentations I've given, for your edification and/or amusement. For the most part they should make sense even without me standing up in front of you talking, though I like to think the talking part adds something to the experience. Presentations are listed in reverse chronological order.


Ferns of the New Mexico
A talk for the Santa Fe Chapter of the New Mexico Native Plant Society, September, 2006. An expansion on the earlier Organ Mts. fern talk, for the most part. There is at least one factual error; see if you can find it!

Convergent fruit evolution in Athysanus and Thysanocarpus (Brassicaceae)
A presentation for the Botany Meetings in Chico, CA, beginning of August, 2006. My first "real" academic presentation...

Ecology of C3 and C4 Grasses (Poaceae) in the United States: a Phylogenetically Controlled Analysis
A poster for the Botany Meetings in Chico, CA, beginning of August, 2006. This is an extension of a class project for Evolutionary Ecology, talk by Dr. Kathy Hanley.

Species: a Wittgensteinian approach
This is a talk I gave for the NMSU Biology Department brown bag, an informal forum for student presentations, in March, 2006.

Ferns of the Organ Mountains
This is a talk I gave to the Las Cruces Chapter of the New Mexico Native Plant Society in February, 2006.
