Student Evaluations:

I love learning, I love teaching, and I love doing research, often involving students. At each of the schools at which I have taught, I received excellent student evaluations. My courses were described by students as “the best course that they had taken”. This was true for both lecture and laboratory/field trip courses. In end-of-course evaluations, students repeatedly identified “the enthusiasm/presentation style of the instructor” as the single thing that they liked best about the courses. I encouraged student presentations, “real world learning exercises” and scientific games into the classroom. Students made favorable comments about my willingness to help and answer questions, and my encouragement of student expression. As a testament to my success as a teacher, my courses were fully enrolled, with excellent retention, and many of my former students have gone onto careers in science (ecology, plant virology, molecular biology). I am fond of teaching courses, which take students into the field or ocean, and which directly expose them to observational or experimental science, including statistical analysis of data. I take care to help students improve their presentation skills to communicate their science to the general public, a responsibility, which I take seriously as a practicing scientist.

CURRENT RESEARCH OVERVIEW:

The Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum was a time when polar ice caps were absent, parts of the deep ocean were anoxic, The absence of polar ice restricted the delivery of oxygenated surface water to the deep ocean likely stressed the lives of fishes restricted to the deep ocean The fish have characteristic teeth, which will be quantified over the time before, during, and after the time of the PETM that has been identified in the carbonate sediments northeast of Venice, Italy. I will quantify the consequence of this dramatic paleoclimate change particularly for deep sea fish populations, by identifying and counting fish ichthyolites in carbonate sediment as a proxy for population size of deep and shallow water fishes, before, during, and after the PETM to estimate the survivorship of shallow vs, deep-water fishes.

ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND:

I play the piano and tennis. I swim regularly. I am an avid naturalist and an amateur rock and mineral collector. In high school, I was a “high scorer” on one of the top math teams in New England (Canton High School), a first clarinet in Massachusetts all-state band, one of two representatives to Massachusetts Boy’s State, and the Editor-in-chief of the high school newspaper.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE:

I have considerable experience teaching introductory biology courses (organismal biology, evolution and ecology, cellular and molecular biology, human physiology). I have taught many semesters of both lecture and lab courses at institutions such as UC Berkeley, UC Berkeley Extension, St. Mary’s College of California, Diablo Valley College and a number of additional institutions. At many of these schools, I have taught adult learners, and have had great respect for and appreciation for their efforts to learn and their enthusiasm for the subjects I have taught. Adult learners and military veterans have been among the best students I have had. In each class, I create an environment wherein students assist each other to learn. A supportive community is best for keeping all students actively learning and enthusiastic for the material. My style is to use active learning, to use questions to initiate the presentation of a topic. I encourage active participation through class discussion. If students work cooperatively, students given the opportunity to teach, each gain in appreciating the connections between the different biological disciplines, and solidify their learning.
