I have been a Bahá’í since 1968. I was born and raised in California but largely educated in New York, and now reside in the Midwest. Retired now after a 40-year career in higher education, I was a cell biologist, professor, and eventually a senior academic leader (dean and provost). My degrees are all in biology and life sciences, leading to a PhD in Biomedical Sciences (Cell Biology) earned at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mt. Sinai (New York). My primary affiliation as a federally funded research scientist was as a tenured professor on the faculty of the School of Medicine at Indiana University. My main research interest was in lung cell biology, investigating subcellular mechanisms of phagocytosis. I have a profile on LinkedIn. My publications and grants are listed in ORCiD. Related to my interest in science and religion, I hold active memberships in the Institute on Religion in an Age of Science (IRAS), the International Society for the Study of Science and Religion (ISSR), the European Society for the Study of Science and Theology (ESSSAT), the Center for Theology and the Natural Sciences (CTNS), and the Oxford-based Science and Religion Forum (SRF). I also hold memberships in the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the International Society for the History, Philosophy and Social Studies of Biology (ISHPSSB), and the Society for the Study of Evolution (SSE).
