Zeke and the Cell Squad Author:J.H. Thinnes, Jr. John H. Thinnes, Jr. was born in Doylestown, PA and raised in Hatfield. John received his Bachelor and Master degrees in Mechanical Engineering at Drexel University and a Master of Biotechnology at University of Pennsylvania. It was during his second master's degree that he found himself in a cell biology class, something he wasn t too comfortab... more »le with. During the semester, John realized that his perceived difficultly with cell biology was directly linked to his avoidance of biology as a high school student, which came from his lack of exposure to the subject as a child. John realized that if he was exposed to cell biology in its simplest terms as a young child he would have been comfortable with it in grade school, and more so in high school. Unfamiliarity with biology made John avoid it. As a result, John wrote and illustrated, Zeke and the Cell Squad, a children's book intended to expose young readers to math and science by bringing these subjects to life! By exposing children to the sciences in a fun and entertaining way while they are young, you will create a foundation that will make learning those sciences in grade school and high school much easier.« less
