Douglas
Allchin received his Ph.D. in history and philosophy of science
from the University of Chicago in 1991.
He builds on a background in evolutionary ecology, with field
experience from Panama to the Rocky Mountains.
He now teaches biology at the University of Texas at El Paso.
In his research, he focuses on how scientists address error and
resolve disagreement — from the controversy over chemiosmotic
theory to the reception of acupuncture in the U.S.
He carries his expertise into science education, speaking here
and abroad on using history to teach science, coordinating a national
network of teachers interested in such approaches, and serving
on the editorial board of Science & Education. Outside academics,
Doug hikes, photographs lichens, and enjoys the tradition of having
tea.
