I teach the hard skills with love and passion.

1. Marine Biology.  I coordinate the BSc (Marine Biology).  We have taken students to China and East Timor on fully paid trips.

2. Statistics.  I coordinate the 3rd Year statistics course for biologists.  I receive unsolicited emails, such as "I just wanted to thank you for being a highly effective and thoughtful teacher during the first four weeks of RMEB III this semester.  I feel confident for the remainder of the course because of the way you presented the (relatively dry!) content and the way you listened to the students' needs"  (Student, 2017).

3. Writing.  Beautiful and nourishing reading comes from the effort we put into writing. Relative to maths, this one of the most under-valued skills in science.  Science writing is so dull and impenetrable that it sounds as if we are speaking in tongues.  Science communicators are employed to decode the babble.  I teach how to write clear and simple - the way to the truth - with a twist for a lively read.
