Teaching

The primary goal of my teaching program is to teach students how to think critically and apply newly acquired knowledge about fundamental biological principles to common ecological and socio-economic issues. I have recently become interested in exploring novel ways to incorporate more technology into the classroom by complementing traditional laboratory exercises with virtual and computational labs. I presently teach courses both at the graduate and undergraduate level.
