Faculty perspective
"After many years of working in the department, I have come to the conclusion that teaching and research are sometimes hard to separate. The most obvious overlap comes in teaching. As often as I can, I try to bring in real world examples of research into my courses. The students always perk up and are more interested in the subject matter. Sometimes, the lecture material for a course will also give me ideas for new research projects. Teaching and research can be mutually supporting if given a chance."
