One current research model is the Zebrafish embryo used for developmental and toxicological studies. She has a number of interests outside of the science classroom which include reading and writing poetry. Jones is a member of the North Carolina Writers' Network–West and a participant in the NetWest poetry critique group.

South Florida, gaining popularity as a 25 year radio and television personality
and passionate animal advocate. In 1988 her environmental essay won statewide
acclaim in Florida. After retiring from broadcasting,
Bell worked for many years training working dogs and rehabilitating rescues. Her
poetry and prose have been published in several journals. Her short story “Cheyenne” took 2nd place and her poem, “Time” took 3rd place in the 2016 NC Cherokee/Clay
