Craig Emerson                          BS Pyschology, Biology &  MS  General Biology         Austin Peay State University

Craig Emerson is a doctoral candidate at the University of Louisville whose area of research is the human impact on aquatic invertebrates in the Ohio River.    He brings a wealth of personal and professional experience to his teaching of science and math in the Academy's middle grades.   His enthusiasm for environmental concerns is contagious for the students in his fifth and sixth grade Earth Science class, who are learning to observe, record, predict, and care about the world they are studying.
