I strive for that "a-ha" moment when a student realizes that all biological and physiological processes are interrelated and that the trick to understanding science is to build on previously learned concepts.

In mathematics for example, one may not understand the algebraic portion of integrals but once I explain the geometrical portion, things start to make sense. In mathematics and physics, there's almost always a geometrical picture that a student can think of faster than remembering steps and formulas. I like to use analogies to bring abstract concepts down to earth.
I graduated from UT Austin with a BS physics and BA mathematics. I still study both subjects independently to be ready for graduate school. I have held a job in both IT and Engineering where I have used my s ... read more
