Teaching

I love to teach through hands-on and experiential learning. I particularly enjoy challenging students to think critically, and to become skilled statistical analysts and writers.

I currently teach Biology 310, Biodiversity and Ecosystems, at McGill. We use a mix of lecture, discussion, and a tid-bit of (winter) field work to learn about quantifying biodiversity, community assembly, and ecosystem function.

Other courses I have taught:
Invertebrate Biology, 300-level Undergraduate course, Department of Biological Sciences, Simon Fraser University.
Marine Evolution Under Climate Change, Graduate course, Centre for Marine Evolutionary Biology, University of Gothenburg, Sweden.
