Profile
Winner of the University of Melbourne’s 2004 David White award for Excellence in Teaching: for sustained innovation in small group teaching in Physiology - using and evaluating computer aided learning and research-led teaching approaches.
This award reflects my long term interests in bringing research and teaching together in collaborative learning environments to help physiology students develop the investigative skills of professional scientists.
