With Chemistry: An Atoms-Focused Approach, students get an accessible, affordable, truly atoms-focused learning package that helps students of all backgrounds visualize chemistry while understanding its applications to future careers and research. In the exciting new Fourth Edition, new coauthors Carribeth Bliem and Anna Curtis (UNC-Chapel Hill) have brought a broad range of real-world career and research applications to the text and digital resources. These complement the visualization pedagogy from coauthor and Chemistry Education Researcher Stacey Lowery Bretz.
Thomas R. Gilbert has a BS in chemistry from Clarkson and a PhD in analytical chemistry from MIT. After 10 years with the Research Department of the New England Aquarium in Boston, he joined the faculty of Northeastern University, where he is currently associate professor of chemistry and chemical biology. His research interests are in chemical and science education. He teaches general chemistry and science education courses and conducts professional development workshops for K–12 teachers. He has won Northeastern’s Excellence in Teaching Award and Outstanding Teacher of First-Year Engineering Students Award. He is a fellow of the American Chemical Society and in 2012 was elected to the ACS Board of Directors. Stacey Lowery Bretz is the Dean of the Getty College of Arts and Sciences at Ohio Northern University, where she holds the rank of professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. For 28 years, she taught general chemistry to thousands of students. At Miami University, she held the rank of University Distinguished Professor and was honored with the Benjamin Harrison Medallion for “outstanding contribution to the education of the nation.” She has mentored 60+ post-docs and research students, with 25 of her former mentees teaching chemistry at colleges, universities, and high schools. Together, they have authored over 100 peer-reviewed articles and given over 500 keynotes, seminars, and conference presentations. Her research investigates students’ learning of chemistry, with expertise in developing assessments of students’ thinking in the laboratory and with multiple representations of molecules and compounds. Dr. Bretz is a Fellow of the American Chemical Society (ACS), is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and was an American Council on Education Fellow in the Office of the Chancellor at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. She served on the National Research Council Committee on Discipline-Based Education Research, and she chaired the Gordon Conference on Chemistry Education Research and Practice. Her colleagues honored her with the 2020 ACS Award for Achievement in Research on Teaching and Learning of Chemistry. Dr. Bretz served for three years in the Chair succession of the ACS Division of Chemical Education. She earned her BA in chemistry from Cornell University, her MS from the Pennsylvania State University, her Ph.D. in chemistry education research (CER) from Cornell University, and completed a post-doc at the University of California, Berkeley in the Department of Chemistry. Carribeth Bliem earned her BS in chemistry from the University of Utah and her MS in chemistry from the University of Colorado Boulder. She is a teaching associate professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she brings evidence-based practices of high structure and active learning to the undergraduate classroom, both in general chemistry and physical chemistry. Her instructional goals are to provide opportunities for students to think critically about problems, work collaboratively to find solutions, and connect chemistry to daily life. When not in the classroom, she studies factors that support student learning in large-enrollment courses, including classroom design and the use of undergraduate learning assistants. Anna C. Curtis is a teaching assistant professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She earned her B.S. in chemistry from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and her PhD in physical chemistry from the University of Colorado Boulder. She spent one year as a postdoctoral teaching fellow at Radford University before returning to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to share her passion for chemistry with the next generation of students. Her graduate work focused on understanding electronic dynamics in semiconductor nanocrystals with applications in solar cell technology, as well as studying students’ ability to think scientifically in the general chemistry classroom. The current focus of her research lies in undergraduate chemistry course assessment and reform with a focus on the efficacy of active learning strategies within different learning spaces. As both a teacher and a researcher, she is committed to incorporating current research and best practices in chemical education into her teaching and assessing their impact on student learning. Her interest in chemical education is driven by her belief that, with a growth mindset and an effective learning environment, all students are capable of learning chemistry.
