Education Philosophy

There are a few things people want to know:

Who we are
Where we come from
Where we are going
How to get there

We can make use of the tools of science to explore these issues as we work towards a coherent and unified understanding of the human condition. A good way to learn science topics is to start with the question about the world that most puzzles you. Wikiversity participants can be a guide to help a student take that first step on their personal journey of learning and then provide help as that journey continues on through the entire scope of human knowledge.

Research Interests

The role of synaptic adhesion proteins in learning and memory
The role of dis-regulated cell adhesion in cancer
Mathematical models of neuronal networks
