Candace Glendening M.S.
About
The focus of Candy's teaching is introductory courses for non-science majors. She enjoys designing courses that engage students in scientific concepts while learning about subjects that interest them. From calculating the distance a blood drop travels in a forensic science class to investigating the presence of antibiotic resistant bacteria in ground beef purchased from local grocery stores in a microbiology course, these investigations explore scientific concepts in an accessible – and fun! - way.
She has taught at the UoR since 2004, before that she: researched antimicrobial resistance in beef and swine production at The Ohio State University, taught Introductory Biology at Morehead State University in Morehead, KY, and researched a tumor suppressor gene at Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, MA.
Candy has 2 adult children, and a Shetland Sheepdog named Arlo. She is also a textile artist who dyes fabric to use in her art quilts with 40 publications in art quilting magazines, 12 appearances on Quilting Arts TV and 2 feature length workshop DVDs.
