Alexander Bartholomew, PhD, Geology, University of Cincinnati
Research interests: Focus on reconstructing paleoecological associations in the Devonian of Eastern North America and interpretation of sea level fluctuations and paleobiogeographic trends through the Devonian of the world.
Facilities: Stratigraphy-Paleontology Laboratory (with equipment used in preparation/curration of paleontologic specimens).
Glenn Geher, PhD, Founding Director, Social Psychology, University of New Hampshire
Research interests: The nature of human mating intelligence; biases in the perception of intimates; parental investment and mating strategies; evolutionary accounts of human behavior.
Facilities: Social-perception laboratory with computers and equipment designed to measure autonomic nervous system responses.
Aaron Haselton, PhD, Entomology, University of Massachusetts, Amherst
Research interests: Relationships between nutrition and neuroendocrine function and their ensuing effects on feeding behavior, reproduction, and aging in insects.
Facilities: Physiological/histological laboratory including microplate reader, incubator, activity monitors, and fluorescence immunohistochemistry facilities.
Tom Nolen, PhD, Neurobiology and Behavior, Cornell University
Research interests: Combining behavioral, anatomical, and physiological approaches to discover neural mechanisms underlying adaptive behavior. Include synaptic mechanisms of sound analysis in insects, chemical defenses in gastropod mollusks and the effect of natural defenses on potential predators, and the development of behavior and learning in the marine snail Aplysia.
Facilities: Insect laboratories that allow for study of acoustical signals emitted by insects during courtship; electrophysiological equipment to measure neural activity.
Hamilton Stapell, PhD, University of California, San Diego
Research Interests: Social and historical developments of evolution and human health.

Kathryne Gruskin M.S., Elementary Education and Teaching, SUNY New Paltz
Research Interests: She has a passion for all things education. This includes her work as an elementary teacher, as well as educational reform, research, and writing. The common thread that runs through all this work is the ideas from the field of evolutionary educational psychology. She strongly believes that by understanding our evolved learning preferences, we are able to create better schools.
