Scientific communication
I enjoy communicating science and believe that one of the most important roles of a scientist is transferring their research to a broad audience. I also enjoy teaching about the fascinating world of biology to undergraduate and postgraduate students. I am interested in teaching scientific writing and have taught courses about writing at IST Austria, including courses where English is a second language and to people wanting to become more effective scientific writers. For all my teaching I am interested in designing and using innovative teaching methods.
