Send all your simple (or complex) marine biology, ecology and even aquatic biology questions. If I cannot answer them I will direct you toward someone who might better be able to :)
​
Intro/inquiry question is free (to see if it is even in my wheelhouse).
​
Tutoring Questions are $15 per hour of work I do, or $15 per 30 minutes of video chatting.
Clarification and communication for students is more relaxed. You are learning.
​
Anything beyond one answer back from non-students is subject to my basic consulting fee of $60 per research and report hour.

General Q&A session(s)
Adaptable and Straight-forward Consultation Services
This is a new age for busniesses. Lets make things happen.
Directed Inquiry Research and/or Report
If you would like to work with me in a pointed research capacity I would be thrilled. My major skills include invertebrate identification and taxonomic placement research as well as ecological assessment and hypothesis generation for complex, modern problems. I am highly interested in sustainable food production endeavors as well.
​
Rates are dependent upon the scope and length of the contract. Email me! I'd love to hear your ambitions!
In-Person or virtual consultation for culture systems and animal care
Live culture and animal care can be stressful and intimidating. My ability to troubleshoot a wide variety of systems with live animals is one that has come by way of mishaps and surprise 'discoveries', so my job is not to judge, but to help with the problem at hand.
​
Rates: Different kinds of interactions require different amounts of energy from me. I will charge more for in-person based on distance and travel difficulty ($120-160/hour, including travel time, plus fuel up to 6 hours away by car), a median amount for virtual video calls ($100/hour), and a more relaxed rate for voice calls ($70/hour).
​
​If you would like me to travel out of state for an in-person consult, I would require an up-front contract. Email me and we can talk about it, I do love seeing new places!
