This website was created by Dr. Stephanie Burns to allow her colleagues, students, friends and other interested parties easy access to her work and the work of others in related fields. There is a great deal of information available on this website and it has been organised to provide fast access for those who need it, and slow absorption and amusement for those listening to a slower beat on the drum. The names for the various content areas on the site are listed in the right margin of the homepage (if you entered the site with them activated). However, if you are new to the site you might need richer descriptions to help you know what everything is. On this page you find those descriptions for the items in the office.
