Research Interest:  With respect to biology, I have an interest in small mammal ecology with particular emphasis on the foraging ecology of rodents. Population dynamics, food habits, and GIS modeling often make up this type of research. In science education my research interests include the application of inquiry into the classroom and the pedagogical training of faculty. Inquiry is at the forefront of the science education reform movement. I am currently teaching the NS 3312 course (Life Science Studies). This is a biology content course aimed at junior and senior level elementary school pre-service teachers.
