My name is Dr. Michael S. Finkler. I am a comparative animal physiologist and an associate professor of biology at Indiana University Kokomo (USA). As of June 2012 I will be the president of the Indiana Academy of Sciences. My research interests include the effects of abiotic environmental factors on the development of amniotic eggs, differences in the enegetic cost of reproduction as a driving force in sexual dimorphisms in oviparous organisms, water balance in amphibious organisms, and thermal biology. Although I am not extensively trained in the discipline, I am also deeply interested in vertebrate paleontology.
