Headshot of Jennifer w88 slot online

Summary

I have been a member of the Department of Biology since 2007. My primary role in the department has been teaching the anatomy & physiology courses (Biology 223 and 224), along with the Advanced Human Dissection Team and the corresponding labs. After completing my bachelor’s degree in human biology at the University of Utah, I earned a master’s degree in biology followed by a doctorate degree in Ecology, Evolution and w88 slot online Biology. My research interests were in plant-animal interactions, especially on the evolution of seeds traits in members of the genus Ephedra, and the adaptations for rodent dispersal that have only occurred in North America. While in graduate school, I had the opportunity to work as a teaching assistant in the anatomy and physiology labs, and I found my passion for teaching undergraduates, especially about the human body and how it works.
Besides w88 slot online the anatomy and physiology large enrollment courses, I have taught a variety of other courses, including freshman-level and upper division, graduate-level, majors and non-majors, and an Honors course. I genuinely love w88 slot online and take every opportunity increase engagement in my classroom, as well as increasing enthusiasm for the content.
