About the Author :
About our authors

Eric J. Simon is a professor in the Department of Biology and Health Science at New England College in Henniker, New Hampshire. He teaches introductory biology and human biology to non-science majors, as well as international biology-themed travel courses, to instill a love of the natural world in his students. Dr. Simon received a B.A. in biology and computer science, an M.A. in biology from Wesleyan University, and a Ph.D. in biochemistry from Harvard University. His research focuses on innovative ways to use technology to increase active learning in the science classroom, particularly for nonscience majors. Dr. Simon is also the author of the introductory biology textbook Biology: The Core, 3rd Edition and a coauthor of Campbell Biology: Concepts & Connections, 10th Edition.

Kelly A. Hogan is a professor in the Department of Biology at Duke University, teaching introductory biology courses to science majors and serving in a leadership role around the undergraduate curriculum. She routinely teaches very large interactive classes and supports faculty in strategies to reach their teaching and learning goals. Dr. Hogan received her B.S. in biology at the College of New Jersey and her Ph.D. in pathology at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Her research interests relate to how large classes can be more inclusive through evidence-based teaching methods and technology. She provides faculty development to other instructors through peer coaching, workshops, and mentoring. Dr. Hogan is also a coauthor of Campbell Biology: Concepts & Connections, 10th Edition and coauthor of Inclusive Teaching: Strategies for Promoting Equity in the College Classroom.

Neil A. Campbell (1946-2004) combined the inquiring nature of a research scientist with the soul of a caring teacher. Over his 30 years of teaching introductory biology to both science majors and non-science majors, many thousands of students had the opportunity to learn from him and be stimulated by his enthusiasm for the study of life. He is greatly missed by his many friends in the biology community. His coauthors remain inspired by his visionary dedication to education and are committed to searching for ever-better ways to engage students in the wonders of biology.
