About Dr. Koch: I am a paleobiologist who explores questions about extinction and evolution in vertebrates, often using forensic chemistry to assess the ecology and physiology of individual organisms, extant or extinct. Earlier in my career, I focused on the extinction of megafauna at the end of the last ice age and the pulse of evolutionary and ecological change triggered by early Cenozoic global warming. Of late, I’ve focused on gleaning information useful for conservation from fossils of extant species and the extinct megafauna they interacted with them. This work also includes study of the role of the gut microbiome in animal nutrition.

Jennifer Courtwright PhD Defense - Assessing ecological integrity of streams across the western U.S.
Conference/Seminar
Maintaining and restoring the ecological integrity of aquatic ecosystems is both legally mandated by the Clean Water Act and a management goal of diverse natural resource management agencies. Historically, most ecological assessments of aquatic ecosystems have focused on determining whether individual water bodies are supporting desired aquatic life conditions. However, agencies also have to report to Congress on overall status and trends in ecological condition across all streams within their jurisdiction. Ideally, assessments of ecological integrity would be both precise enough to inform site-specific management decisions and also be readily scaled up to accurately characterize watershed-, regional-, and national-scale conditions. My dissertation research improves the range of naturally occurring environmental settings to which indices of biological, chemical, and physical condition apply and scales up reach-level assessments of ecological integrity to regional and national scales in the western US.

The Outsider
Arts/Entertainment
THE OUTSIDER
By Paul Slade Smith
"Ned Newley doesn't even want to be governor. He's terrified of public speaking; his poll numbers are impressively bad. To his ever-supportive Chief of Staff, Ned seems destined to fail. But political consultant Arthur Vance sees things differently: Ned might be the worst candidate to ever run for office. Unless the public is looking for... the worst candidate to ever run for office. A timely and hilarious comedy that skewers politics and celebrates democracy."

FOREVER PLAID
Written and Originally Directed & Choreographed by Stuart Ross
“Once upon a time, there were four guys (Sparky, Smudge, Jinx and Frankie) who discovered that they shared a love for music... Rehearsing in the basement of Smudge's family's plumbing supply company, they became "Forever Plaid". On the way to their first big gig, the "Plaids" are broadsided by a school bus and killed instantly. It is at this moment when their careers and lives end that the story of Forever Plaid begins.”

Gutenberg! The Musical!

GUTENBERG! THE MUSICAL!
By Anthony King & Scott Brown
"In this two-man musical spoof, a pair of aspiring playwrights perform a backers' audition for their new, ill-advised project - a big, splashy musical about printing press inventor Johann Gutenberg. With an unending supply of enthusiasm, Bud (Richie Call) and Doug (Stefan Espinosa) sing all the songs and play all the parts in their crass historical epic, with the hope that one of the producers in attendance will give them that elusive Broadway contract."
