I’ve known about the idea of multiple intelligences for a while. The idea being that we all learn in different ways isn’t that new and you might be familiar with the learning by seeing, hearing or doing. Howard Gardner expanded on these three and over the course of years, delineated eight distinct intelligences. Here’s a [...]
Well, not me, per se, but my SSHRC Doctoral Fellowships Program application.
This means that it got out of the Faculty and out of the University. That’s good. Now, I got this far last year and then had the application evaluated at a 14 / 30, so this little piece of news doesn’t mean [...]
Troy, who is a personal hero (especially for his research committee meetings at a North Bay Country Style Donuts and stalking Black Bears in a garbage dump, as captured in Project Grizzly), is back at it again. He has built a suit of armour (tested against bullets and an elephant gun) for soldiers.

And who says that Botanists don’t have a sense of humour?
I’m writing this about twenty minutes after the Macworld keynote and I’m sure you’ve already heard of this little gadget: the iPhone. Sure looks cool: mobile phone+ iPod + web browser. WiFi. Bluetooth. 4 & 8 GB flash memory.

About me
I am an education researcher and practitioner, with a focus on higher education and the environment. I consider myself, above all, a naturalist. I'm the pack-mate of two border terriers. I live within the Speed River Watershed in Guelph, Ontario. I enjoy photography. I lead nature tours across North America. I teach courses on Natural History. I likely spend too much time on the Internet.
Oh, and the opinions expressed here are wholly my own.
