Teaching
I run science and writing workshops for students ranging from elementary school to retirement age.
My home bases are Algonquin College, where I teach trades students the power of communications, and Canadian government workers through the Professional Development Institute at the University of Ottawa.
I also periodically teach at places such as:
Ottawa's Performance Management Consultants
The University of North Dakota's space studies department (also my alma mater)
Carleton University's journalism department (also my alma mater)
The University of Ottawa's communications department
La Cité collégiale's journalism and English as a second language programs.
