"Greetings!

I am French and currently living in Mississippi. I earned a PhD in Biology (cell and molecular physiology) in France in 2001, then joined the University of Iowa as a post-doctoral researcher for 10 years (muscle and adipose physiology). During my undergraduate and graduate studies, I also worked as middle/high school counselor and regularly tutored students in science.

I truly loved the teaching and mentoring part of my job as a scientist and joined a 4-years teaching college in 2011. For the past 10 years I have been a college professor in biology teaching mostly human A&P, physiology and physiology related courses, interested in developing innovative and creative teaching approaches (interactive videos, flipped just in time teaching, …), and still trying to go to the research lab with my students.

I kept a French accent despite living in the States for 20 years +, but it does not seem to be an obstacle in teaching. My students describe me as fair, patient, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic.

Looking forwards to hearing from you! - Severine" less...
