Biography:
Susan M. Adams
Susan
M. Adams, B.S., M.B.A., MT (ASCP) has nearly 20 years of science
achievement behind the creation of her educational publishing
company, Games for Science Education. Starting in 1994 with
the receipt of the University of Pittsburgh’s Phillips
Medal in Chemistry, the Chemistry Department’s highest
honor, Ms. Adams continued to excel in science when she received
recognition for outstanding achievement in laboratory medicine
studies through the American Society of Clinical Pathologists
in 1992.
When
the focus of Ms. Adam’s interest in science shifted
to education, she continued to excel. Ms. Adams received the
Michael J. Relihan Award for Excellence in Secondary Science
Education at Seton Hill University in 1999. Her dedication
to science education was recognized again in 2002 when she
appeared in the 7th edition of Who’s Who Among America’s
Teachers, a publication honoring the nation’s most respected
teachers. By making science fun and interesting, yet still
challenging, Ms. Adams has earned the respect of students
of Advanced Placement (AP) Chemistry, AP Biology, as well
as General Chemistry and Biology.
Says
Ms. Adams on the first of the Games for Science Education
publications, “I wrote Chemistry Puzzles and Games because
it was necessary! Students really fear chemistry, and someone
has to do something about that! Our society needs science-literate
future citizens now more than ever. If students don’t
like science, then we must make it interesting and appealing.
This is my contribution to chemistry education. And I won’t
stop there. Next to come are puzzle and games books for physics
and biology, scheduled for release in 2003. The year 2004
will bring more in the series of fun, educational materials
for the various science disciplines.”
Ms. Adams’ first and future books will be available
at www.gamesforscience.com,
Amazon.com, and wholesale through the major book distributor
Baker & Taylor.
