Teaching
As an educator, my goal is to foster curiosity and scientific literacy so that students, fellow scientists, and the public can apply environmental health and ecological knowledge to decisions in their daily lives. At Middlebury, I teach a range of courses in environmental health, environmental science, and community-engaged learning:
- Science of Environmental Systems (ENVS 112)
- Navigating A Toxic World: Environmental Health in Your Daily Life (ENVS 118)
- Justice, Health & Environment (ENVS 225)
- Environmental Health (ENVS 230)
- Environmental Detectives: Using Exposure Science to Measure Hidden Health Threats (ENVS 265)
- Community Engaged Practicum in Environmental Studies (ENVS 401)
- Data Science Across Disciplines (ENVS 1230)
- First Year Seminar: Navigating Our Toxic World (FYSE 1104)
I also regularly mentor students in independent research for credit within the Environmental Studies Program, as well as the Chemistry and Biology Departments.
