Curation of Fossil Fish Collection :

1985-1987 Reorganized entire fossil fish collection systematically (a 3-year project funded by N.S.F.)

1983-2004 Obtained a number of large important fossil fish collections through personal field work, donor solicitation (e.g. Rilling collection; Passaro collection; Axelrod collection; and 30 years of fieldwork in Wyoming and Mexico) and selective exchanges with other museums. Increased size and diversity of collection substantially, to a level where it is now unsurpassed in North America.

Exhibition : 1991-1992 Developer for "Locked in Stone: The Prehistoric Creatures of Fossil Lake", a major temporary exhibit which opened June 1992 to coincide with the North American Paleontological Convention at Field Museum.

1991-1994 Consultant and content specialist for “Life Over Time exhibit”.

1997 Initiated organization of, and was curator for temporary exhibit on “Archaeopteryx”.

1997 Developer for Searle Lounge exhibit "Fossil treasures: 100-million-year-old fossil fishes from Brazil", on fossil fishes from the Santana Formation, Brazil.

2004-2006 Content specialist and co-designer for "Fossil Basin" gallery in the Evolving Planet exhibit.

Adult Education : 1984-86 Taught two complete adult-ed. courses on fossils and fishes, and sections of two other courses. 34 Miscellaneous :

1989.2004 Chair and founding member, Scholarship Committee, Field Museum. I helped organize the Field Museum Scholarship Committee, that by 2004 was distributing $75,000 per year to visiting scientists and students from around the world through restricted endowments obtained through fundraising.
