- Chair of the Department of Science, Technology, and Society, Rochester Institute of Technology
I teach in the STS (Science, Technology, and Society) and History Departments at RIT, and my research focuses on the role of scientists in environmental politics. I have authored two books, *The Oyster Question: Scientists, Watermen, and the Maryland Chesapeake Bay since 1880* and *Deep Cut: Science, Power, and the Unbuilt Interoceanic Canal* (both published by the University of Georgia Press). My new project examines the history, science, and politics of marine and aquatic invasive species. I am also affiliated with the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute as Research Associate.
