Research Interests

Since Research Link 2000, I have used rapid cycling Brassica rapa to investigate the fitness consequences of individual variation in life history traits, evidence for their inheritance, and evolution. Since the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning 2001, I have worked to incorporate the principles of scholarship of teaching and learning into my teaching and research.
