Darcy Kelley: Pioneering the Frontiers of Science Education
نویسنده
چکیده
Darcy Kelley, a professor at Columbia University, has been a HHMI Professor since 2002. The HHMI Professors are innovative individuals recognized for their dedication to making science education more rewarding for undergraduates. Dr. Kelley recently entertained and educated attendees of the 2007 Symposium for Young Neuroscientists & Professors of the Southeast (SYNAPSE). Before her engaging keynote address, I had the privilege of asking Dr. Kelley about her career as a scientist, including her development of Frontiers in Science, a required course for first-year Columbia undergraduates. The course covers current research and major issues in science (such as evolution and the beginning of the universe) to give incoming students an exciting first look at the field. Ultimately, Dr. Kelley is dedicated to reaching undergraduates with the message that “science is cool.”

The influential organizational-activational hypothesis [50] established the notion of a strong distinction between long-lasting (developmental) and cyclical (adult) effects. While the dichotomy is not always strict [1], ...
