传记

Jessica A. Cusick博士是犹他谷大学生物系的助理教授。

教学:
I am extremely passionate about teaching and my philosophy on teaching and mentoring stems from the belief that students need an inclusive learning environment where their thoughts and contributions are valued.

通过小组讨论、实践活动和一对一的互动，学生们积极地参与到他们的学习中来。通过我的课程，学生将培养批判性思维能力，评估科学证据，并探索他们对生物学的兴趣。通过课堂活动、实地考察、课堂实验和讲座，学生将培养技能，为他们在生物学和非stem领域的职业生涯做好准备。

研究:
我的研究将行为学、生态学、生理学、微生物学和进化生物学联系起来，研究影响种群内行为变化的发育过程和机制。使用综合的方法，结合在现场和实验室的微生物，生理和遗传技术的实验研究，我的目标是了解遗传，生理和环境线索如何相互作用，以影响个体的行为变化。我关注的领域包括合作、攻击和繁殖。

通过我的研究项目，我很高兴为学生提供进行独立研究项目和发展科学技能的机会。我的研究项目包括实地考察、实验室数据处理和行为评估。我欢迎学生在他们的职业生涯和兴趣的各个阶段！有机会协助正在进行的研究项目或发展自己的研究项目。
