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!
