Teaching
I believe exchanging knowledge is key to successful science and such an exchange can happen in different ways. In addition to teaching university courses I try to get involved in the mentoring of students at different levels including high school and undergraduate students as well as graduate students visiting our lab.
Courses
At UdeM Andrea will start teaching Biostatistics and Spatial Ecology soon at the undergraduate level in the past and at other institutions she has taught laboratory sessions for Evolutionary Genetics, Biostatistics and Ecology and Evolution and a Biogeography course.
