| ABOUT THE AUTHOR |
| Dr. Harmon is an honor graduate from Morehouse College, receiving the Bachelor of Science Degree in Biology. He completed his graduate studies at Georgia State University receiving the Doctor of Philosophy Degree in Biology with a concentration in Neuroscience. During his graduate studies, he read an article in the local newspaper that evoked frustration and anger. The article stated that only 40% of minority students passed the science portion of the Georgia high-school graduation test. This information suggested that approximately 60% of minority students failed this portion of the exam! Determined to be part of the solution to help students understand and receive passing scores on national science tests, he became a volunteer science teacher in a program designed to help students. As a result of the program, approximately 80% of the students that participated in the program passed the science portion of the high school graduation test. In spite of this effort, the passing rate of minority students still lags behind the passing rate of other ethnic groups. Thus, Dr. Harmon started this company to help ALL STUDENTS and he has written and published the first of a series of books designed to help students understand and receive passing scores in science! In addition to this endeavor, Dr. Harmon is a post-doctoral research fellow at Emory University School of Medicine in the Department of Pharmacology and he teaches science on the collegiate level to freshmen and sophomores. |
