At the University of Alberta, he completed a MSc with Specialization in Systematics and Evolution in 2015. His research examined a juvenile specimen of the tyrannosaurid <em>Gorgosaurus<\/em>. Analysis of changes during growth and potential indicators of social behaviour helped provide information about its anatomy useful for taxonomic identification. It also led to finding alternative measurements to record data that account for fragmentary or crushed fossils. After his master\u2019s, Gavin began instructing courses as the Science MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) Coordinator, overseeing delivery of <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.ualberta.ca\/catalogue\/course\/paleo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>PALEO 201\u2013204<\/strong><\/a> at the University of Alberta.
