About Me

“I love this stuff, but I hate teaching it.”

– A middle school science teacher, talking about Earth science


A teacher once told me the quote above, and it changed my life. I went from being a research scientist to being a high school science teacher. Today, I spend my time helping prepare future teachers as a professor at CSUN.
