John - you are incredible - from HMB200 to HMB300

I love my colleague Dr. Yeomans. He was my professor when I was an undergraduate and even though I don't teach with him directly I am so thrilled to run into him and talk neuroscience. We have some awesome conversations that I can't have with my my other colleagues because the breadth and depth of his knowledge is incredible. I am also really impressed because every time I step into his classroom he's so animated and plugged in to his students. I hope that some of his teaching DNA is in me and that I am able to pass this along to my students. I also love his HMB200 students - they are resilient, they try hard and they work their butts off. They do significantly better than their counterparts - I think this is the true measure of teaching greatness - keeping students excited, interested AND well-trained for the next group of courses!

Plus - this is a little known fact - the man is an amazing tennis player (also one of my favorite sports). So as I prep for classes I've got John Yeomans on my mind (if you can take HMB200 do it do it do it!!!! - it's the best 2nd year neuroscience course here at U of T and he's an amazing individual who will teach you real neuroscience!)
