The two focuses of my research are K-12 outreach and the scholarship of teaching and learning. 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 assisting them in performing experiments and collecting their own data. I am an award winning innovative instructor that uses hybrid, accelerated, flipped and online teaching methods. My students use Twitter to hold robust discussions on course content. Students also learn the professional skills of interviewing, writing thank you notes and using an elevator pitch to make great first impressions. My collaborators in scholarship are throughout the United States, Brazil, Pakistan and Australia. I have presented my research at national and international meetings. I am an active member of the Teaching Section of the American Physiological Society.
