3 years after my last post, it seems this blog is in need of a sprucing up! There have been some big changes in my life since then, most notably that I somehow found my way back to academia (listen, I know I said "never" in my first post... but this is different!). I am currently finishing up my first year as an Assistant Professor on the tenure track at a small regional school, and while this past year was certainly no cake-walk (HyFlex teaching is hard, y'all!), I really, really love my new career. I love it so much in fact, that I want to learn everything I can about college science teaching and pedagogy. My hope is to share some of what I learn on this new adventure of mine right here on this blog. So stay tuned for some new directions here at the SciMinded Idealist! Right after I get through finals week...
