Profile Articles Activity I remember the first science project I did at school, which was about different types of flowers and fruit, and I have remained deeply curious about the botanical
world since that time. Little wonder that much of my working life has been spent teaching undergraduate botany. Beyond the classroom, developing the botanical literacy of the HE community
using mobile apps is my way of addressing #plantblindness - the phenomenon where human fail to see plants. My primary research thread is science education. Here my work aims to: 1.
understand the reluctance of biology students to engage in 'maths' using a series of theoretical frameworks, including 'thresholds concepts' and 'mindfulness of
learning' 2. assess the use, usefulness and usage of new and emerging technologies in teaching and learning biology; this coupled with with adopting students-as-partners approaches 3.
evaluate peer-editing as a strategy to improve biology students writing skills EXPERIENCE EDUCATION * 2018 UK HEA, Senior Fellowship * 2001 The University of Sydney, Grad Cert Ed Studies
