About me
I am a teaching-focused academic who researches and innovates in the science education space. I teach Biochemistry, communication in Science, and employability.
After completing my BSc Hons and PhD at the University of Sydney I was a Human Frontiers in Science Long-Term Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Connecticut. After gaining an academic position there, I returned to Australia in 2006 to teach and research at UQ. I completed a Graduate Certificate in Higher Education at UQ in 2007. In 2009 I was appointed as a full-time teaching-focussed faculty member in SCMB.
I have held multiple fellowships, including the Manning Clark Fellowship, the American Society for Microbiology Biology Scholars Fellowship, and two UQ Teaching Fellowships. I have previously served as Chair of Teaching and Learning in SCMB, Deputy Director of the Institute for Teaching and Learning Innovation (ITaLI) at UQ, and Deputy Associate Dean Academic (Future Students and Employability) in Faculty of Science. I am currently Associate Dean Academic and Deputy Executive Dean for Faculty of Science.
Research focus and collaborations
My group uses social science methods to investigate problems in science education.
Some of our projects are:
- Undergraduate research experiences as Work-Integrated Learning: In this project we are examining how students understand employability in relation to undergraduate research.
- Helping students learn to communicate science for work and for assessment: You can see some of our work on this subject here - www.clips.edu.au
- Implementation of a legitimate undergraduate research experience (URE) for large science course cohorts: One of the key priorities at UQ is the introduction of the URE. In this experience, undergraduate students get to design and implement experiments that are part of a real research stream from a working lab. We develop UREs that serve large numbers of students at one time, then evaluate what students say they are learning from their work.
My group accepts students at the undergraduate, honours, and postgraduate level. If you are interested in working in the science education space, please contact me to talk about your interests. I have students who work on projects outside the scope of the topics described above.
