Cosmology – I am applying knowledge from adult education design to develop an ongoing, self-directed course in cosmology. The goal is to help me formulate a hypothesis that explains the formation of potential future universes from central supermassive black holes. These black holes are likely become the dominant object in gravitationally bound galaxies over more than 10^14 years. Speleology – I am working to build long term infrastructure needed to conserve and manage cave resources; mostly, I am working within organizations such as the National Speleological Society and the Appalachian Cave Conservancy.
