Eric Jandciu
Strategist, Teaching and Learning Initiatives, University of British Columbia, Canada
After blowing up a fume hood at the University of British Columbia (UBC), Eric Jandciu completed his chemistry graduate work and pursued a master's degree in journalism. This transition was the beginning of a career that focuses more on the relatively safer fields of communicating and teaching science than on actually doing science.
Eric has worked as a freelance journalist, science writer, and grant writer. He has coordinated the copy editing of book and journal manuscripts at Springer in Heidelberg, Germany, and at LE-TeX in Leipzig, Germany.
Currently, Eric combines his passion for science, teaching, and science communication at the Science Centre for Learning and Teaching within the Faculty of Science at UBC, where he works on curriculum development and evaluation. He has also been involved in UBC’s flexible learning initiative, which aims to increase logistical and pedagogical flexibility of university courses. He is regularly asked to facilitate communication skills workshops.
