Each year our club collaborates with the Harvard Alumni Association in selecting an outstanding Harvard faculty member to speak to our club. This year, we are highly honored to host Professor Robert Lue, who has revolutionized the way life sciences are taught and learned at Harvard. His presentation, including creative visual effects, will be of broad interest to all alums in our area, with a special appeal to educators. Highlights of his bio, which can be seen in full on (web link) are presented here:
Robert Lue is Director of Life Sciences Education and Professor in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology at Harvard University, where he has received several teaching awards from the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS) and the Division of Continuing Education. Rob was also the Dean of the Harvard Summer School of Arts and Sciences.
As Chair of the FASs Life Sciences Education Committee, he led in the creation of a new introductory Life Sciences curriculum, which now serves as an integrated foundation for department course offerings in Molecular and Cellular Biology, Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, Chemistry and Chemical Biology, and Biological Anthropology. As part of this broad revision, Rob let an initiative to make innovative computing and visualization and integral part of the curriculum as it evolves.
Rob received his Ph.D. in biology from Harvard and has taught undergraduate courses there since 1988. He has developed award-winning educational multimedia on several topics including Understanding HIV and AIDS (1999), Biochemistry: Interactive
Learning (2000), and The Inner Life of the Cell (2006). Rob also has a longstanding interest in pre-college education and consequently founded and directs a Harvard life sciences outreach program that now serves over fifty high schools across Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island.
The title of Professor Lues talk is The transformation of Teaching and Learning in the Life Sciences. Given what Rob has done to invigorate Life Science teaching at Harvard, and the focus of his talk on April 23rd, the club is making a special effort to invite high school science teachers, and students to this program.
