To me et this need\, I am developing chemistry courses at the University of Illi nois for pre-health professionals that teach concepts and content in a per sonally meaningful way\, thereby stimulating deep student interest and pro moting curiosity-driven learning. Scientific evidence shows that people wh o feel curious devote more attention to an activity\, process information more critically\, remember information more effectively and persist on tas k until goals are met.\n\nBio:\n\nJeffrey Moore received his B.S. in chemi stry (1984) and Ph.D. in materials science and engineering with Samuel Stu pp (1989)\, both from the University of Illinois. He then went to Caltech as a National Science Foundation Postdoctoral Fellow working with Robert G rubbs. In 1990\, he joined the faculty at the University of Michigan in An n Arbor and in 1993 returned to the University of Illinois\, where he is c urrently a professor in the departments of Chemistry and Materials Science and Engineering\, as well as the Stanley O. Ikenberry Endowed Chair. Jeff is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and a fellow of the Ameri can Academy of Arts & Sciences\, the American Association for the Advancem ent of Science and the American Chemical Society (ACS)\; he has received t he Campus Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching and has been reco gnized as a “Faculty Ranked Excellent by their Students.” For 14 years he served as an associate editor for the Journal of American Chemical Society . In 2014\, he was selected as a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Professor and in 2016 was chosen as the recipient for the ACS Edward Leete Award in Organic Chemistry. He received the Royal Society of Chemistry‘s Materials Chemistry Division 2018 Stephanie L. Kwolek Award. He has published over 400 articles covering topics from technology in the classroom to self-heal ing polymers\, mechanoresponsive materials and shape-persistent macrocycle s. He is currently serving as the Director of the Beckman Institute for Ad vanced Science and Technology at the University of Illinois.\n DTSTART:20181128T180000Z DTEND:20181128T193000Z LOCATION:Ruttan Room\, Maass Chemistry Building\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 0B8\, 801 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:Tomlinson Teaching Lecture: Jeffrey Moore - Increasing Learning and Curiosity in Chemistry by Making the Molecular Sciences Personal URL:/chemistry/channels/event/tomlinson-teaching-lectu re-jeffrey-moore-increasing-learning-and-curiosity-chemistry-making-290167 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
