Since I am wonderfully and errantly spending my youth and middle age working outside on a pleasing variety of field and lab projects at the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory and other field sites in the Rocky Mountains, I have many more acknowledgments than publications! Thanks to everyone for asking me to be a part of your crew and thanking me publicly for it! :-)
Since my family will ask, I'll explain an acknowledgement for those who don't know. Most scientific journals allow the authors of a paper to include a list of people who contributed time or thought to the research, however people in acknowledgements weren't involved as much as the primary authors. Most of my acknowledgements are for research assistant or research technician duties such as field sampling before or after the primary authors arrived in Gothic. Some experiments need planning or training, then lots of people to work long hours at the beginning of an experiment and several long days at the end. Then there is the follow up lab work of identifying, counting, measuring, weighing, or dissecting the bugs or plants, entering and backing up data, then sending the data back to the researchers. While the fieldwork is the best part, I enjoy a variety of scientific work :-) Look below the photo for a list of papers.
