Teaching
Courses I've designed and taught as Instructor of Record, and courses I've supported as a Graduate Teaching Assistant.
Instructor of Record
Evolving Cognition - Deep Origins of Human Brain Adaptations
A writing seminar on the neural bases of human cognition, and how natural selection shaped cognitive adaptations over deep evolutionary time.
Designed, but not taught: I received alternative funding that semester.
Course details →Social Neurobiology - Evolution of the Social Brain
A writing seminar on the neurobiology and evolution of cooperation and conflict in human and animal societies; an expanded second iteration of the Spring 2020 course.
Course details →Social Neurobiology - From Circuits to Societies
My first course as Instructor of Record: a writing seminar on the biological causes of cooperation and conflict, from reward circuits to societies.

Principles of Neurophysiology
Hands-on cellular neurophysiology: extracellular and intracellular recording, synaptic transmission, and optogenetic control of behavior.
Course details →Behavioral Ecology, Evolution and Genomics
Field and lab methods for studying animal behavior: tracking, color, sound, and chemical analysis, plus behavioral statistics in R.
Course details →Introduction to Neurobiology
Introductory neuroscience: cell signaling, neuroanatomy, sensory and motor systems, development, and learning and memory.
Course details →Introduction to Behavior
A general introduction to animal behavior: evolution, behavioral ecology, sociobiology, chemical ecology, communication, and navigation.
