New Science Teacher Comes Aboard

Dr. Christian Reilly is the new Upper School Science teacher. Growing up in the Pacific Northwest, Christian spent most of his time trying to figure out what lived in the water, and then explaining what he found to family and friends. As an undergraduate at Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington, he continued to blend marine biology research with early science outreach and education. Christian went on to complete a master's in marine biology in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, and a doctorate in marine ecology and neurobiology at Stanford University's marine laboratory in Pacific Grove, California.

"I realized that as much as I loved marine research, today's real need is in conveying the scope and grandeur of the natural world to the next generation of citizens and scientists," Christian stated. "I'm looking forward to working with a students who bring so much thoughtfulness and joy to their work."
