Teaching

EEB 335 Biodiversity Research Seminar: A critical component of science is transmitting the results of scientific research to the greater scientific community. If the results of research are not made available to other scientists, they never enter into the great debate, and the research may as well never have been conducted. For this reason, it is important to learn how to communicate research to other scientists, and to evaluate the research of others. Research presentations are one of the major avenues scientists use to transmit information (publication in peer-reviewed journals is another).
