On Biology



Jamie Jensen & Seth Bybee

Jamie is a Discipline-based Educational Researcher (DBER) in Biology and Associate Professor at Brigham Young University.She specializes in the development and assessment of undergraduate biology curricula that employ evidenced-based pedagogical strategies to increase student scientific reasoning skills and deep conceptual understanding.One of her most passionate research foci is studying factors influencing knowledge and acceptance of evolutionary theory and finding ways to help student reconcile science and religion. 

Seth is an associate professor at Brigham Young University. His main focus is phylogenetics with research spanning from fossils to gene family evolution. He is intrigued by the evolution of color vision systems and color signals and how the diversity of life on earth is connected. He has a new found and sincere interest in evolution education in the undergraduate classroom. He is the most biological fit biologist you will ever meet...he has seven kids.

This attitude seems to be especially common amongst religious people. But why is that, and what can we do to reconcile these two opposing worldviews? A new study published in Evolution: Education and Outreach tries to explain.
