Honors Faculty Fellows

 

Being a Faculty Fellow gave me the opportunity to engage with some truly bright and curious students. I designed a course titled “Use and Abuse of Science” to dive into the relevance of science in our everyday lives and discuss how it was and continues to be manipulated for the interest of a few. The interactions with students were enriching, especially seeing the spark in their eyes when they discovered new connections about the proximity of science to their lives."
