We often hear from instructors in FSc that they have questions about certain areas of teaching and learning, but they do not know who to turn to.
This page lists colleagues in the Faculty of Science at York, and the topics they are interested in chatting over coffee, virtually or in-person. It also provides links to resources offered through the Teaching Commons, other York University offices, and other academic sources.
