Facilitator:  Eric Simon

At New England College, Eric Simon has led many educational travel courses that focus on biodiversity to destinations such as Belize, Guatemala, Cuba, the Amazon, Tanzania, the Galapagos, and Patagonia. The purpose of this seminar is to consider possibilities for a LINEC trip. If you are interested in joining the trip, or even if you would just like to make suggestions, come join the discussion. Signing up for this course DOES NOT mean that you are actually going on the trip, and there is NO OBLIGATION of any kind associated with this seminar. Let’s have fun dreaming and scheming of possible travel opportunities! Information on an actual travel opportunity (if one is forthcoming) will be announced separately.

Eric J. Simon, Ph.D., is a professor in the Department of Biology and Health Science at New England College, in Henniker, New Hampshire.

Dr. Simon received a B.A. in biology and computer science and an M.A. in biology from Wesleyan University and a Ph.D. in biochemistry from Harvard University.
