My scientific expertise is in interferons, interferon-like cytokines and their receptors, their signaling systems, multiple simultaneous biological interactions, full-spectrum fluorescence resonance energy transfer applied to biological systems and live cells, and DNA vector design. Related experience in biotechnological and biomedical writing, scientific graphic design, and mathematical modeling of simple biological systems.I have spoken at many international conferences, and presented my own data as well as others' data with my own designed presentations, with positive comments on clarity.I have winced at presentations run by those who settled for grainy pictures and unformatted tables to attract venture capitalist funds. I fear that there are no shortage of poorly organized presentations that are given to venture capitalists. I can easily make your presentations more clear and far more effective without adding extra explanatory time. What is not effectively explained is not easily funded.My experience is currently best utilized by helping others who need my skills and my ability to make effective presentations. Please contact me if interested.Please include the terms "consultation" and "LinkedIn" in our first contact so I am certain of the origin and sincerity of the e-mail.

Photographic expertise: UV/vis/near-infrared photography, dim-light photography, astrophotography, technical photographyVideographic expertise: product demonstration (outdoor and indoor), underwater videography, lecture demonstration and business-oriented presentation

I offer one-on-one or small group (2 or 3; more than that is NOT effective) sessions.I tutor in math (algebra to differential calculus), chemistry (general, organic, biochemistry, instrumental methods, biophysical chemistry), and biology (general, structural and molecular biology, immunology, microbiology, anatomy and physiology, biotechnology)I tutor students from middle school to collegiate level. I tutor teenagers to adults. I tutor first-time learners and those returning to eduction after even decades!See the below website (http://cdkrause.wixsite.com/home-page) for more details. A link to a demonstration [of my ability to explain concepts with a learning module I created] is listed there.Find and like 'CDK Tutoring' on Facebook, where I posted many "lessons" in math, chemistry or biology!
