I am Maura C. Flannery, Professor of Biology and Director of the Center for Teaching and Learning at St. John's University in New York.  I have taught introductory science to nonmajors for over 40 years and I love it.  Finding ways to make biology more interesting led me to an interest in the scholarship of teaching and learning.


My research is on the visual aspects of biology and on the aesthetics of science.  I am particularly interested in herbaria, collections of pressed plants and other plant specimens. If you want to find out more, please visit my Herbaria webpage.

 

The picture at the right was taken by Judith Warnement at the Harvard Botanical Library.  All the other photos in this portfolio, unless otherwise noted, were taken on my trip to Australia 2011.
