My broad experiences in research makes me sought after as a scientific expert for print media, radio, and television.

    Fees

Competitive fees vary by activity. I prefer to negotiate fees for an entire job rather than work on an hourly basis. Fees for presentations depend on the nature of the sponsoring organization. Travel can be included in fees or paid directly by clients. Travel days are charged at a lower rate than working days. Research awards can be administered through WSU often with reduced overhead costs.
