Elita's+research+interests

Previous research experience as researcher, subject, etc

 * worked as a research scientist in Australia, US & Canada
 * research was focussed on pre-drug discovery & drug development
 * area of research was in neurogastroenterology & pharmacology, centering around heartburn & IBS (irritable bowel syndrome)
 * I've been subjected to my 8 year old daughter's "interview" many times and sometimes her questions are very unpredictable!

Research that I would do with unlimited money and resources

 * on how to stop the human body from breaking down with increasing age. I have elderly parents and it hurts me to see them get older and slower and less able to cope, mentally, physically & emotionally

More realistic current research interest(s)

 * I would love to figure out how to teach in a way that is tailored to the individual student, especially in my large 200+student classes!
 * I want to know how to be a better mommy!
