Associate Professor of Bioscience Education at the University of Plymouth, Peninsula Medical School and Associate Head of School for Education and Student Experience. I have a sustained interest and track record in teaching bioscience in various contexts, including medical and dental education. My current areas of interest in educational research are transferable skills education and assessment, and development of scholarship communities. I am a passionate advocate of equality of access to education. I have many years of experience in scientific outreach, widening participation and working with learned societies (including the Biochemical Society) to promote science and access to learning to all.
