<p><span style="font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:12px;">My research interests are two-fold: first the development and writing of chemistry laboratory experiments for the introductory student. I am interested in investigating student learning styles, and integrating aspects of everyday experience into laboratory experiments. Secondly, I am pursuing research into the history and philosophy of science (specifically European history and “western” science), and the history of the interaction between science and organized religion.</span></p>
