Teaching has always been an integral part of my career. I regard teaching as a mission: a mission to deliver knowledge to following generations. To me, teaching science means teaching a way of life and thinking. As a researcher, I make it my task to deliver the basis of scientific method in order to develop my students鈥� critical thinking skills. I also apply the scientific method to my teaching approach.
