SHERALEE BRINDELL (PhD, Colorado, 1996) came to CU Boulder in 1989 as a graduate student in ethics and social and political philosophy. She switched to the philosophy of science at the end of her graduate studies and wrote a dissertation on the nature of scientific explanation. She now works primarily in the philosophy of science and is particularly interested in issues related to the forensic sciences. She began teaching in the department in 1997, and took on the duties as one of the undergraduate advisors in 2003.

When she isn't teaching or advising students in the philosophy major, she enjoys tournament poker, cheesy detective novels, fly-fishing, and cooking.
