Memberships

Below are listed the societies of which I am a member and meetings I have attended. I have listed them all together here, even though some might be considered to be teaching rather than research societies and meetings. However, the distinction between the two has blurred for me over the last few years, as I have become interested in the scholarship of teaching and learning. My research interests include not only the development of lipid metabolism but also the pedagogy used in higher education.
