With a Chilean colleague, we are interested in comparative studies of northern and southern hemisphere peatland microbial ecology. We also work closely with a local biotechnology company to develop applications involving algae and bryophytes. I teach courses in the biology of algae and bryophytes and introductory botany for non-majors, and contribute to a large introductory majors biology course. Royal Society Bot. Kodner, R. B., and L.E.
