Autorenporträt
A. Daniel (Dan) Johnson is a North Carolina native who obtained his BS in biology from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. After three years in the pharmaceutical industry he entered Wake Forest University School of Medicine where he earned a PhD in cell biology in 1992. He subsequently completed postdoctoral fellowships at the Texas Heart Institute in Houston and the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. In 1998 he returned to Wake Forest University, this time to the Department of Biology as core curriculum coordinator, where he currently holds the rank of senior lecturer. He teaches general biology for nonmajors; introductory cell biology and physiology courses for premajors; and graduate courses in instructional methods, professional skills development, and bioethics on both the undergraduate and medical school campuses. He leads faculty development workshops through the campus Teaching and Learning Center and has served as an instructional methods consultant on several awarded national grants. Dr. Johnson is an active member and regular workshop leader for the Association of Biology Laboratory Education (ABLE), and in 2008 he was voted to its governing board. Dr. Johnson and his wife volunteer their free time to Historic Bethabara Park in Winston- Salem, North Carolina. They are the principal caretakers for the Hortus Medicus, the park's historically accurate restoration of its circa 1761 Moravian medical garden.
