Biography

Dr. Jeffrey O. Bennett holds a B.A. (1981) in Biophysics from the University of California, San Diego, and an M.S. and Ph.D. (1987) in Astrophysics from the University of Colorado, Boulder. He has taught at every level from preschool through graduate school, including more than 50 college classes in astronomy, physics, mathematics, and education. He served 2 years as a visiting senior scientist at NASA headquarters, where he created NASA's "IDEAS" program, started a program to fly teachers aboard NASA's airborne observatories (including SOFIA), and worked on numerous educational programs for the Hubble Space Telescope and other space science missions. He also proposed the idea for and helped develop both the Colorado Scale Model Solar System on the CU-Boulder campus and the Voyage Scale Model Solar System on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.

In addition to the astronomy textbook *The Cosmic Perspective*, he is also lead author of college-level textbooks in astrobiology, mathematics, and statistics; of critically acclaimed books for the general public, including *On the Cosmic Horizon* (2001), *Beyond UFOs* (2008/2011), and *Math for Life* (2012); and an of the award-winning series of children's books that includes *Max Goes to the Moon*, *Max Goes to Mars*, *Max Goes to Jupiter*, and Max's Ice Age Adventure, and *The Wizard Who Saved the World*. When not working, he enjoys participating in masters swimming and in the daily adventures of life with his wife, Lisa; his children, Grant and Brooke; and his dog, Cosmo.
