Animal Behaviour

    I taught this course under difficult circumstances. I was working in Florida at the time. I was contacted on a Monday, interviewed over the phone on a Wednesday, and hired on a Friday. I flew to BC over the weekend and had my first class on the following Tuesday. Once I got there, I did not have any office, computer, or library access for the first 3 weeks of a 13 week course. Nevertheless, we managed to do some class projects, have a poster session, and cover the basis of behaviour.

    For my troubles, I was rewarded with a paid sabbatical during the following term, which I took to Tartu University. I already had a job lined up  at Cayman 4 months later. After a year there, I returned to Estonia, where I have and more or less stayed, so far.
