The eleventh episode of our ‘Teaching and Scholarship Podcast’ series, put together by Dr Scott Border, Principal Teaching Fellow in Anatomy (Medicine) is now available. This podcast is aimed at everyone in the University with a keen interest in innovative teaching practice and educational research. It is intended to cultivate our growing teaching community and provide advice on advancing careers.
In the first series we will be speaking to our leading educational figures with a track record of delivering excellence and innovation. We will be talking to them about defining teaching excellence and innovation in education as well as discussing wider issues such as TEF and the challenges faced in improving NSS ratings.
In episode 11 we chat to Dr Neil Gostling about all things evolution and biological development (Evo-Devo). Neil is easily one of the most engaging lecturers at the University of Southampton which has led to recognition from both his students (SUSU Excellence in Teaching Awards) and his peers (VC Teaching Award). His non hierarchical style and passion for his subject allow his students to flourish in the classroom and on his legendary field trips! – one of which is a nice little trip to the Galapagos Islands (MRes Evolution Degree).
