Expert Profile: Dana Krempels, Ph.D.

Expertise: I can answer biology-related questions in the areas of evolution, zoology, botany, genetics, and ecology. But I don't answer homework questions or provide ideas for your science fair projects. So students please do your learning the right way by reading your text assignments and studying!

Experience in the area
At the University of Miami, I teach Evolution and Biodiversity, Botany, Zoology, Genetics, Ecology, and a variety of seminars (e.g., the Biology and Evolution of Human Gender Roles).

Education/Credentials
I have a B.S. in Biology and an A.B. in English from the University of Southern California (1980). I earned my Ph.D. in Biology in the area of evolutionary biology/visual physiology from the University of Miami in 1989.

Past/Present Clients
I am currently an "expert" in both the "Rabbits" and "Wild Animals" categories.

What do you like about this subject? Hey, I got a Ph.D. in the subject. I guess I must love ALL of it. But my favorite areas are zoology, botany, and evolution.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? I hope I can help others learn about and love biology.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject If you're going to teach the Biblical account of creation as science in public school classrooms, then you'd better be ready to also teach the children about the Science of the ancient gods of Scandinavia, Greece, Rome, India, etc. And you must *especially* include the Science of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Everyone should get a fair shake.
