A balance of science and story, with a focus on the people doing biology now.

Biology Now, currently in its 4th edition, illuminates the human aspect of science by focusing on real people—from medical professionals and researchers to entrepreneurs and biotech employees—and real scientific mysteries and challenges. Scudellari and her co-authors (two biology professors) structure every chapter of Biology Now around a popular science story, drawn from first-person interviews, that motivates students to read and stimulates their curiosity about biological concepts. Biology Now is available in college and high school editions.
