I am a stubborn Swede. I`m curious, creative, and obsessive-compulsive. This combination of traits makes me an effective scientist and educator (and also gets me into no end of trouble). In addition to these roles, I am also integrally involved in the assessment of student learning and the revamping of the General Education program at Ferris State University. In particular, I am interesting in bringing the concept of reproducible research into both our General Education assessment practices and our Biology classrooms. ©
