Research Interests
Much of my current time is devoted to textbook writing, including two editions of a biological psychology text and two other first edition text projects that are running concurrently. When I do get a few spare minutes to engage in research, I am especially interested in new technologies as applied to teaching and social networking. I maintain an award-winning blog with which I interact with students in many nations who are using my textbooks.
