Dr. Mohamed Noor

Dr. Mohamed Noor is professor of biology and currently serves as Dean of the College of Arts & Sciences at Duke University. There, he teaches and conducts research in the broader area of evolutionary genetics. He is also a contracted science consultant for the Star Trek universe, with current credits in seasons 3-4 of Star Trek: Discovery and more to come. Dr. Noor merges his passions of genetics and evolution with science-fiction by teaching biology concepts using depictions from Star Trek in the classroom, in online videos, and in presentations at conventions. Additionally, he published a book via Princeton University Press that uses examples from Star Trek to teach real-world principles in genetics and evolution, called "Live Long and Evolve: What Star Trek Can Teach Us About Evolution, Genetics, and Life on Other Worlds".
