Science and My Life,

Myles Peterson

23 years old, only child

HBSc (Math)

Minor in General Science

General = Everything but Biology

Background

Born and raised in Thunder Bay

From the across the river a.k.a. the sticks

Vast outdoor environment to explore in

Where I spent most of my youth

Growing up

Between sports there was Science and Math

Really got into the Academic side of science when there were choices about what I could learn

Grade 11 and 12 Physics and Chemistry we’re a significant influence

High School

Favorite teacher a.k.a. Mr. Smith*

Presented Science in the most interesting manner (DEMONSTRATIONS)

Not an easy teacher but perfectly logical and fair

Key Influence

Originally applied for a HBSc (Chem), changed on the last day to Math

Distaste for lab writeups…

Took the science courses in university that I had to then chose those that I knew I’d enjoy

Higher Education

If my science students leave class having had some manner of inquiry with respect to how or why things are the way they are, then I’ll be satisfied with my work

I’ll be ecstatic if that inquiry turns into a burning desire to find out the answers to these questions

Future Goals

Thank You Very Much!
