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. |

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!!!). |
