I have a PhD in the History of Science from the Johns Hopkins University, and I am an associate professor in the History of Science department of the University of Oklahoma. My first book, Adam and Eve in the Protestant Reformation (Cambridge University Press, 2010), won a prize for best book in Reformation history the year it came out. I have published articles on early science and medicine in Isis, the leading journal in the history of science, the Journal of the History of Astronomy, and Renaissance Quarterly, as well as several chapters in edited, peer-reviewed volumes.
