Overview

  • The two focuses of my research are the use of evidence-based pedagogy to enhance learning and learning and K-12 outreach. I am an award winning innovative instructor that uses hybrid, accelerated, flipped, team-based and online teaching methods. My students sing physiology songs and perform dramatizations to learn difficult content. Via zoom, students complete team building activities to increase their engagement. perform debates and I use alternative assessments to replace standard exams. I have performed science outreach in public and private schools in rural NH, Australia and with ELL students at UNH Manchester in the EXCELL in STEM program. Through these activities, I get young people excited about science while facilitating their experiments in collecting their own data. My research students design and facilitate K-12 outreach activities for nonprofits in the Manchester area and assess the efficacy of these activities. They have presented their work at International meetings. My collaborators in scholarship are throughout the United States, Brazil, Pakistan, India, New Zealand and Australia. I have presented my research at national and international meetings. I am the past-Chair of the Teaching Section of the American Physiological Society.
