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 then went on to major in biol-

ogy 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 biology and introduced her to the world of microbes. René graduated

with a bachelor’s degree in Biology from BU and then went on to get a mas-

ter’s and a doctorate degree 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 ngers.

René currently teaches biology and general science classes at Everett

Community College in Everett, Washington. René 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. René loves teaching these courses because they make

science accessible for all kinds of people. In the summer, René enjoys work-

ing with K–12 teachers on the improvement of science education in the

public schools. René also enjoys writing about science and is the author of

Microbiology The Easy Way for Barron’s Educational Press.

René loves living in the Paci c 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

“sisters” help keep her sane. René loves to scrapbook, quilt, stitch, and read.
