PUBLISHED WORK

PDFs of the journal articles on this website often belong to the journals the papers are published in. In most cases, copyright law says you need to ask me before downloading a PDF. The exception is open access publications (where the journal name is in teal). In these cases, feel free to download to your heart's content.

For a full list of lab publications (and upcoming presentations and seminars) see Dr. Dooley's CV.
