 EMPLOYMENT HISTORY
1978 - present: Nematologist, Florida Dept. of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Division of
Plant Industry, PO Box 147100, Gainesville, FL 32614-7100.
  My current responsibilities include the following:
  1)  Regulatory-Extension Responsibilities: I identify nematodes in approximately 5,000
     samples that our laboratory receives annually, primarily from ornamental plant nurseries
     and citrus growers.  I provide these growers extension-type technical recommendations,
     when they have crop production problems.  When regulatory or quarantine action is
     necessary to control nematode pests that threaten agriculture, I provide technical
     recommendations for the Florida Agriculture Department.  I have responsibilities for
     teaching new employees during training classes held several times a year.  When requested
     I serve on graduate student committees at the University of Florida.
   
 2) Research: My current research relates to the biological control of nematodes with
copepods, small soil-dwelling crustaceans, which I have discovered are voracious predators of nematodes.
   1972 - 1978:     Plant PatholoLry and Nematology Specialist, Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture ,
   and the University of Wisconsin, Madison.
         I was a part of an interdisclipinary team of scientists from the USA and Brazil, employed
     by the University of Wisconsin and the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture (EMBRAPA) to
     establish a national center for soybean research in Brazil ( Centro Nacional de Pesquisa de
     Soja ). We had responsibilities to integrate research in agronomy, soils, weed control, and
     pest and disease control.  In cooperation with Brazilian colleagues, I developed and
     conducted research projects on soybean diseases, conducted in service training and short
     courses, and selected individuals for new positions and further educational training in
     soybean agricultural research.
    
    1971 - 1972:    Assistant Professor of Plant PatholqgL Dept. of Plant Pathology & Plant
          Genetics, University of Georgia, Athens.
     
          Position related to the international program in Bangladesh and was temporary
because this program was canceled due to the war in Bangladesh.  Projects: (1) Influence of
selected viruses and fungi on photosynthesis in peanut and soybean (2) Studies on the interaction
of ftingal and nematode pathogens in the cotton stunt disease in Georgia.
    1966 - 1970:    Graduate Student -Research Assistant, Dept. of Plant Pathology, North      
Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC.
Projects: 1) Influence of pH and inorganic ions on the biology of the soybean cyst                 
           nematode.
                 2) Effectsof nematodes on nitrogen fixation of soybean.

     1963 - 1966:   High school science teacher.  Twillingate, Newfoundland, Canada.  Also, Unit
Director for the MCC Teachers Abroad Program in Twillingate.

  1957 - 1959:      Between high school and college I managed my family's dairy farm in PA.
