I taught in the Riverside Community College District from 1992 to 2015 when I retired. I was Distinguished Faculty Lecturer in 2003 and served as Academic Senate President of Norco College from 2006-2013. I am a research associate at Centre for Humanities Engaging Science and Society at Durham University, UK and was a Visiting Fellow at the Center for Philosophy of Science, University of Pittsburgh Spring 2017.
