I aim to incorporate elements of field work into my courses wherever possible, and I engage students in data collection in both introductory and advanced classes. 

As curator, I have taught short field courses for the Tropical Biology Association and Yale-NUS College, and am exploring partnerships with Pittsburgh-area universities to offer additional field courses based in Borneo.
As professor at Yale-NUS College, I developed several new courses and taught in the common curriculum (Foundations of Science, Scientific Inquiry) as well as in more specialized courses (Conservation Biology, Food Ecology & Evolution).

Below are some highlights from a few of my favorite courses.

Conservation Biology
2015-2017

We explore the fundamentals of conservation biology, and learn skills relevant to the field.

Food Ecology & Evolution
​2016

This course examines how and why we eat what we do through the lenses of ecology and evolution

Foundations of Science
2014-2016

My units in Foundations of Science have focused on Island Biogeography, and Sustainability. 
Field Biology
​
I periodically lead field courses at the undergraduate and graduate level with various universities and organizations.
