DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nThe premedical competencies as outlined in a recen
 t American Association of Medical Colleges (AAMC)-HHMI report on Scientifi
 c Foundation for Future Physicians calls for stronger connections between 
 course content and the underlying principles in health and medicine. To me
 et this need\, I am developing chemistry courses at the University of Illi
 nois for pre-health professionals that teach concepts and content in a per
 sonally meaningful way\, thereby stimulating deep student interest and pro
 moting curiosity-driven learning. Scientific evidence shows that people wh
 o feel curious devote more attention to an activity\, process information 
 more critically\, remember information more effectively and persist on tas
 k until goals are met.\n\nBio:\n\nJeffrey Moore received his B.S. in chemi
 stry (1984) and Ph.D. in materials science and engineering with Samuel Stu
 pp (1989)\, both from the University of Illinois. He then went to Caltech 
 as a National Science Foundation Postdoctoral Fellow working with Robert G
 rubbs. In 1990\, he joined the faculty at the University of Michigan in An
 n Arbor and in 1993 returned to the University of Illinois\, where he is c
 urrently the Stanley O. Ikenberry Endowed Chair\, Professor of Chemistry\,
  as well as a Professor of Materials Science & Engineering. Jeff is a memb
 er of the National Academy of Sciences and a fellow of the American Academ
 y of Arts & Sciences\, the American Association for the Advancement of Sci
 ence and the American Chemical Society (ACS)\; he has received the Campus 
 Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching and has been recognized as 
 a “Faculty Ranked Excellent by their Students.” For 14 years he served as 
 an associate editor for the Journal of American Chemical Society. In 2014\
 , he was selected as a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Professor and in 20
 16 was chosen as the recipient for the ACS Edward Leete Award in Organic C
 hemistry. He received the Royal Society of Chemistry’s Materials Chemistry
  Division 2018 Stephanie L. Kwolek Award. He has published over 400 articl
 es covering topics from technology in the classroom to self-healing polyme
 rs\, mechanoresponsive materials and shape-persistent macrocycles. He is c
 urrently serving as the Director of the Beckman Institute for Advanced Sci
 ence and Technology at the University of Illinois.\n
