New Orleans, LA

I received a BS in entomology from the University of Maryland and subsequently moved to New Orleans where I got an MD (specialty in pediatrics, subspecialty in allergy/immunology) and a PhD (parasitology).
My area of research interest is urban insect ecology, and insect behavior. I have worked in aquatic entomology, and dabbled with roaches and dust mites.
I've done research on termite social behavior and mosquito ecology in the past.
I've developed an interest in linking the lesions of witnessed arthropod bites and stings to individual arthropod species.

If you have images of skin reactions linked to particular species, I would like to see them. Send images to: venom@tulane.edu. Please contact me prior to sending actual specimens by mail. I will generally only provide medical opinions to physicians.
