Research is a creative endeavour. The death of creativity is conformity.  To produce anything even approximating intellectual innovation, one must be willing and able to question and, if necessary, reject conventional wisdom. Colouring outside the lines is a lonely path. 

My research is fundamentally informed by the scientific method and a commitment to freedom of expression, the latter of which is made possible in higher education by academic freedom. Independent thinking can no longer be assumed in higher education. Conformity in thinking is a disease that is increasingly infecting academics.
