About the Author
René Fester Kratz, PhD,
grew up near the ocean in Rhode Island. From a
young age, she wanted to be a teacher (because she loved her teachers
at school) and a biologist (because her dad was one). She graduated from
Warwick Veterans Memorial High School and went on to major in biology at
Boston University. As a freshman and sophomore at BU, René got excited by
subjects other than biology and even considered changing her major. Then,
she met and studied under Lynn Margulis, who reignited René’s love of biol-
ogy and introduced her to the world of microbes. René graduated with a
BA in biology from BU and went on to earn an MS and a PhD in botany from
the University of Washington. At UW, René studied reproductive onset in
Acetabularia acetabulum,
a marine green alga that grows as single cells big
enough to pick up with your fingers. When they enter reproduction, the cells
of
A. acetabulum
form a flat disk or cup-shaped structure at the top, earning
the alga the nickname of the “mermaid’s wine glass.”
René currently teaches biology and general science classes at Everett
Community College in Everett, Washington. She spends most of her time
introducing students to the wonders of cells and microbes as she teaches
cellular biology and microbiology. René also has a strong interest in sci-
ence education and science literacy for everyone. As a member of the North
Cascades and Olympic Science Partnership, she helped create inquiry-based
science courses for future teachers that are based on research on human
learning. She loves teaching these courses because they make science acces-
sible for all kinds of people. In the summer, René enjoys working with K–12
teachers on the improvement of science education in the public schools.
She also enjoys writing about science and is the author of
Molecular & Cell
Biology For Dummies, Biology For Dummies
2nd edition,
Botany For Dummies
(all published by Wiley), and
E–Z Microbiology,
2nd edition (Barron’s
Educational Press).
René loves living in the Pacific Northwest because she is near the ocean and
her daffodils start blooming in February (when her family back East is still
shoveling snow). She doesn’t mind the rain and thinks the San Juan Islands
are one of the most beautiful places on Earth. Her husband, two sons, and
two very bad dogs help her remember what is truly important, and her “sis-
ters” help keep her sane. René loves to scrapbook, stitch, garden, and read.
