I love to do science and find out how things work. I also enjoy helping other people to find things out for themselves. I am currently working in a Further Education College in the United Kingdom, teaching Physics and Mathematics. I am interested in using new technology where it opens up new opportunities or improves effectiveness. I believe person to person contact and using real equipment are still important for learning for the real world. I hope I am open to being persuaded by good quality research.
