...they are and going from there. When students learn concepts like trigonometry in math or moles and functional groups in chemistry, they often think, "I'll never use this in real life." But this perspective overlooks something crucial. It misses the fact that the act of learning how to do math and the process of learning these subjects establishes a new kind of brain wiring - a problem-solving and critical thinking kind of brain wiring. So,...

...terrestrial biomes for research samples. During my post-doctoral training at the University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC), I worked with marine sponges and associated fungi. This work explored the ability of actively growing fungi to re-route their metabolic profile when challenged by toxins. This project resulted in the production of three cytotoxic metabolites and reengaged the discussion of epigenetic modification in cultured marine fungi. My first academic appointment (Aug 2006-Dec 2008) was at the University...
