Classroom Instructors

Dr. Dana Krempels
Ecology Instructor and Program Coordinator


Research in Ecology students spend classroom time listening to short lectures and engaging in hands-on exercises in order to learn the principles of evolution and ecology. Ecology and Evolution lectures can be viewed HERE.

Dr. Darrell Elmore
Scientific Writing Instructor


The best science is of only limited value if the investigator cannot communicate his/her ideas to colleagues and the public. Our Writing Instructor teaches participants proper format for scientific writing, how to effectively communicate scientific ideas in a readable manner, and works in a bit of creativity to boot.
