Michael DiSpezio has always had a fondness for integrating learning with creativity, critical thinking, and performance. After tiring of 'counting hairs on copepods', Michael traded the marine science laboratory for the classroom. Over the years, he has taught physics, chemistry, mathematics and rock'n'roll musical theater. During his classroom years, Michael co-authored a chemistry book, which launched his writing career. To date, Michael is the author of Great Critical Thinking Puzzles and Visual Thinking Puzzles, both available in Orient Paperbacks, as well as eighteen science textbooks, a producer of several educational videos, and a creator of hundreds of supplementary products and science education articles. His most recent science education project was authoring the Science of HIV, a teaching package published by the National Association of Science Teachers. Michael's expertise in both video and science education has resulted in several trips to train counterparts in the Middle East. When he isn't presenting workshops for science teachers, Michael is writing, creating and puzzles solving.
