Additional Information
In addition to the above, I have strong developing interests in the neurobiology of aesthetics and the epistemology of art from the biological perspective. I also am planning a course and accompanying textbook for "non-science-majors" (i.e., almost all university students...) in science/biology education that emphasizes the core foundations of the life sciences in the context of student inquiry, quantitation, and the philosophical underpinnings of scientific methodology.
