Robert L. DeHaan is Senior Science Advisor, Division of Educational Studies, and Charles H. Candler Professor of Cell Biology Emeritus, at Emory University. DeHaan received his Ph.D. in Physiology and Zoology from UCLA in 1956. His research career spans five decades on the faculties of the Carnegie Institution of Washington Department of Embryology, the Johns Hopkins University, and the Emory School of Medicine and College of Arts and Sciences. He has authored or edited four books and over 130 research papers and chapters in the fields of cellular science, developmental biology and science education, and has trained over 40 graduate students and post-doctoral fellows.  He was Founding Director (1995-2000) of the Elementary Science Education Partners (ESEP) program, an NSF-supported science education outreach effort which provided professional development and supplied undergraduate student "science partners" from local universities to some 1500 elementary teachers of the Atlanta Public Schools. He served as Director of the Committee on Undergraduate Science Education (2001-2003) in the Center for Education of the National Research Council/National Academies in Washington, D.C., and was Director of Education Research for the India, China, America Institute in Atlanta (2004-2008). At Emory, DeHaan was twice named Outstanding Teacher of the Year (1987, 1990); he received the University's highest faculty accolade, the Thomas Jefferson Award in 1998; and the Distinguished Emeritus Award in 2006. In 1998 he received the First Bruce Alberts Award from the American Society of Cell Biologists for Distinguished Contributions to Science Education; and in 2006 was awarded the Viktor Hamburger Outstanding Educator Prize from the Society for Developmental Biology. He is a Fulbright Scholar (University College, London), a Macy Scholar (University of Paris-South, Orsay, France), a lifetime Fellow of the AAAS, and in 2009 was named Fellow of the American Educational Research Association.
