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
