Clare Hasenkampf is a professor at the University of Toronto Scarborough's Department of Biological Sciences and Director for the Center for Teaching and Learning. Clare begins by discussing her curiosity and exploration-driven love for the sciences and the path she had taken from New Orleans, Florida, and UCSD that led her to UTSC. She touches upon her journey as a woman in science, the differences she has noticed between St. George and UTSC, along with the changes and development of the campus that she has witnessed from her arrival on the campus in 1989. Clare reflects on her past experiences as a student, as well as a professor, to highlight how such memories have impacted her view of, and initiatives surrounding, pedagogy.
