Personal interests:
Science has become a passion of
mine, and in addition to teaching Chemistry and Biology, I
consider it part of my job description as a science teacher to
encourage passion and nerdery of any form in my students,
coaching drama, computer club and science club. I love
stories, enjoying fiction in any medium, particularly books
and movies.
What I find interesting about my research as an RET Fellow:
The most interesting thing was
the daily experience of being a part of a busy research
laboratory. The day to day experience is very different from
the ways science is thought of by most people, in most cases
involving far more error than trial, daily ups and downs, and
far more excitement than most people think scientific research
involves. It was particularly interesting to hear about the
research that other RET students and professors were engaged
in, and presenting before peers was a fun and challenging way
to hone presentation and technical writing skills. |
