Bio/Research
I have been teaching human anatomy and physiology as well as pathophysiology since I left UVic in 1985. I taught these courses to nursing students at Northwest Community College, Selkirk College, Okanagan College/Okanagan University College - what is now UBC Okanagan. Over my 25 years of teaching post-secondary biology I have taught labs and lectures in many, many different courses but my heart has always been with first year A&P. I am currently interested in how critical thinking skills affects students' ability to learn difficult scientific concepts and their success in university in general. I write a monthly column on skepticism in the Kelowna Courier and participate in many national and international groups promoting skepticism and critical thinking.
