Teaching
I am a Lecturer in Biology at the Open University. I am part of the module team for 'The Biology of Survival S295'.
Previously I was a contributing lecturer at the University of Bristol in eight modules focused on evolution, vertebrate palaeobiology and anatomy, extinction, and phylogenetic methods. I also contributed to an annual training week for MSc Palaeobiology students and lead practical classes teaching introductions to the R programming language, macroevolution, shape analyses and phylogenetics.
When teaching, I champion accessibility, inclusivity and transferable skills.
In 2017 and 2018, I travelled further afield and led training workshops in Wuhan and Hefei, China.

When teaching and leading practicals I like to use research-informed case studies. One of my favourites is training students to analyse skull shape variation in crocodiles and relating this to ecology and macroevolution, linked to this paper.
