About Biology Everywhere

After years of teaching and interacting with friends, family and colleagues who expressed  some variation of "I'm not smart enough to do science"  Dr. Peffer decided to re-think her approach to communicating science with others.

Working with non-science majors introductory biology classes, she began to teach specifically though lens of how we encounter biology as part of our daily experience and also how biology interfaces with other disciplines. Using this approach,  Dr. Peffer's students went from "I'm not good at science" at the beginning of the semester, to "this was my first positive experience in a science course" at the end of the semester. 

That approach led to Biology Everywhere

Biology Everywhere takes the reader on a journey through the science of life as told through our daily experiences (ranging from why bacon changes color when cooked to seashells) and how biology intersects with other disciplines, like music, psychology, and business. 

Pulling from Dr. Peffer's research on how people learn and understand biology and her extensive teaching experience, Biology Everywhere takes an evidence-based, accessible, and practical approach to introducing the reader to the biology all around us. 

Read biology everywherE.

This book is intended to bridge the gap between traditional biology classes and the practical biology knowledge needed in the real world. In each chapter, a different biological concept is examined and related to some real-world issue or experience in an effort to demonstrate why the science of life matters to your everyday experience.

This book is specifically designed either for those who already love biology and biology education, or for those who have had prior poor experiences with biology learning and are willing to give it another try.
