My Website has undergone a total facelift! Most of it is in good working order.
There will soon be some new pages that better reflect the research we are undertaking. For now, those pages have place holders, but will soon have new content.
All the old content is still here too! It can be found in the drop-down menus at the top of the page
Many thanks to Liz Wyglendowski for developing the website design and providing my site some curb appeal.
Please let me know what you think and how it works on your computer. Thanks.
