Office Hours:
By appointment, most days of the week, including non-business hours
Areas of Expertise:
My content area of expertise and teaching focus are in immunology (and introduction to biology outside of UC, Denver).
My interests in science education focus on creating more engaging, active learning approaches that increase equity and inclusion in learning and in the learning community. Currently, I am evaluating the contributions of Flip video assignments through qualitative and quantitative measures. Flip (formerly Flipgrid) is a free, simple video recording and sharing app with a desktop version (https://info.flip.com/). Students in Introduction to Immunology create individual and group Flip videos that generate a shared collection of reference videos available to all students for content clarification and self-assessment
Examples of Student videos:
Student video: NK cells - Missing Self with student's unique analogies and drawings as visual aids
Student Video: 3 steps to activate T cells with student's animated drawings as visual aid
Student video: Innate vs adaptive immune response with Venn diagram as visual aid
Student video: Linear and conformational epitopes with text as visual aid
