Meet the Authors Jeneen Interlandi Anne Houtman, PhD Susan Karr, MS Professor & Head of the School of Life Sciences at RIT Active researcher in science pedagogy Susan Karr, MS Biology Instructor at Carson-Newman College in Jefferson City, TN Active teacher for over 15 years Campus and community environmental sustainability group member Degrees in Animal Behavior and Forestry from the University of Georgia Jeneen Interlandi Scientific American and The New York Times Magazine contributor Masters degrees in Environmental Science and Journalism, Columbia Kaiser Foundation fellowship for global health reporting Researcher Harvard Medical School and Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory Anne Houtman, PhD, is Professor and Head of the School of Life Sciences at Rochester Institute of Technology, which includes programs in Environmental and Biological Sciences. Her research interests are in the behavioral ecology of birds, and currently research in her laboratory focuses on the ecology and evolution of hummingbird song. She also has an active research program in science pedagogy. Anne received her doctorate in zoology from the University of Oxford and conducted postdoctoral research at the University of Toronto. Susan Karr, MS, is an Instructor in the Biology Department of Carson-Newman College in Jefferson City, Tennessee, and has been teaching for over 15 years. She has served on campus and community environmental sustainability groups and helps produce an annual “State of the Environment” report on the environmental health of her county. In addition to teaching non-majors courses in environmental science and human biology, she teaches an upper-level course in animal behavior where she and her students train dogs from the local animal shelter in a program that improves the animals’ chances of adoption. She received degrees in Animal Behavior and Forestry from the University of Georgia. Jeneen Interlandi is a science writer who contributes to Scientific American and The New York Times Magazine. Previously, she spent four years as a staff writer for Newsweek, where she covered health, science, and the environment. In 2009, she received a Kaiser Foundation fellowship for global health reporting and traveled to Europe and Asia to cover outbreaks of drug-resistant tuberculosis. Jeneen has worked as a researcher at both Harvard Medical School and Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory. She holds Masters degrees in Environmental Science and Journalism, both from Columbia University in New York.

Environmental Science Book Features Environmental Science for a Changing World Captivates students with real-world stories Explores the science concepts in context Engaging stories Vivid photos and infographics (McMurdo Station, Pg. 23) Environmental Science for a Changing World captivates students with real-world stories while exploring the science concepts in context. Engaging stories plus vivid photos and infographics make the content relevant and visually enticing. The result is a text that emphasizes environmental, scientific, and information literacies in a way that engages students. Science Taught in the Context of Real-World Stories Engaging stories illuminate pressing environmental issues in context. Each story features scientists working in the field and everyday people tackling environmental problems and finding solutions. Running Margin Glossary means students encounter important terms in context. Real Voices, Characters, and Photos draw students in and bring concepts to life. Pictures are of the McMurdo Station, the largest human settlement in the Antarctic, and of Susan Solomon at the McMurdo Station in 1987 (Chapter 2, page 23). There is a map later in this presentation that shows where the station is located.
