Life at DrTom's: National Taiwan University

About DrTom

I was a professor at Cornell University, where I worked for almost 30 years in the Dept. of Natural Resources and the Environment, College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. In the early 1980s, students began calling me DrTom, so I have revived that name here. I have been married to my college sweetheart for 54 years. We have three adult children and three grandchildren. In November 2008, I retired to our rural property in the Finger Lakes region of upstate NY where Robin and I live a quiet life. I enjoy watching organisms and their behavior on my land, especially while sipping a scotch and smoking a cigar. My writing contains the observations and musings of a guy who thinks that life is pretty interesting and extremely humorous. Let's have some fun.
