I have previously taught at several Universities, covering a range of subject areas. I have given lectures to undergraduates at the University of Utah, Macquarie University and University of Technology Sydney, and to post-graduate students at the University of Utah. Subject areas have included plant reproduction, animal behaviour, ecology, evolution, chemical biology, wildlife biology, fire ecology, environmental protection/ management, climate change, and sustainability.
