My Wife Sarah

My wife, Sarah A. Orlofske is a disease ecologist, amphibian biologist, and parasitologist that studies the effect that parasites have on amphibians and their ecosystems. Sarah and I enjoy traveling to interesting places and meeting with fellow biologists to discuss the latest research. We love reptiles, amphibians, biology, hiking, long drives, symposiums, reading herpetology journals, and many other activities. We are each involved in academia because we enjoy research and have true passions for finding out and sharing new things that interest us in science.

Sarah is an alumni of the University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point and is continuing her education and research at the University of Colorado at Boulder as a Ph.D. student.  

Sarah was president of the UWSP Herpetological Society for 2 years, which often conducts outreach programs at their University and around the state.	Sarah keying out a frog at Reserva Amazonica, Peru. Sarah spent a month there over winter break 2004-2005 at the same time that I was in Bolivia.	Sarah in the field at one of her Butler's garter snake sites. Sarah worked on Butler's garter snakes for three summers.
Like most biologists, Sarah became interested in natural history as a child (e.g. chasing snakes, catching frogs, and even raising tadpoles since the age of 10). Sarah and I actually met on the Partners in Amphibian and Reptile Conservation listserv (someone should tell them to advertise their ability to create romantic matches!!!).
