Senior Seminar - Pollination Biology
Instructor
Clemson University, Clemson, SC. Biological Sciences.
Spring 2024
This seminar-style capstone course will introduce students to pollination biology and will cover the conceptual and theoretical background to important areas of plant reproductive biology, pollinator behavior, and the mutualism that is pollination biology. We will also explore the ways in which global change impacts plant-pollinator relationships and discuss the ethical considerations of these impacts.
Biology of Plants
Instructor
Clemson University, Clemson, SC. Biological Sciences.
Spring 2023, Fall 2023
This course introduces students to the fundamental principles of the origins of land plants and the major trends in plant evolution, the 5 major plant taxa and key synapomorphies that distinguish each group from one another, the life cycles of the major plant taxa, the anatomy of basic plant structures, the function of basic plant structures, and the environment and representative flora of major global biomes
Current Topics in Ecology and Conservation
Instructor
Northwestern University, Evanston, IL Plant Science and Conservation
Winter 2009 - 2011, Fall 2011 - 2020
This course provides students with the conceptual and theoretical framework within the field of plant biology (especially ecology) and conservation. This seminar-style class is based on reading and discussion of historical literature paired with more recent research. It provides students with the opportunity to think critically and discuss their thoughts within a structured yet informal setting and provides them with a basic background in reading and writing scientific papers.

Field & Laboratory Methods in Plant Biology & Conservation
Co-Instructor
Northwestern University, Evanston, IL Plant Science and Conservation
Fall 2009 - 2020
The goals of this course are to (1) familiarize students with various tools and techniques used frequently in the plant biology and conservation research, (2) provide students hands-on experience with a variety of field and laboratory methods used in plant biology and conservation research, and (3) ensure that students complete the course feeling confident in their ability to select and implement the appropriate methods to address a variety of research questions.
