Pennock who is an associate professor in the Lyman Briggs College and the Department of Philosophy and the Department of Computer Science at Michigan State University. He received his PhD in History and Philosophy of Science from the University of Pittsburgh in 1991. Pennock's research focuses on epistemic and ethical values as they relate to scientific methodology, and also on using the behaviour of artificial life to
examine processes of evolutionary change. He is the author of Tower of Babel: The Evidence against the New Creationism (MIT Press, 1999), which provides a critical analysis of the significant developments in the creationist movement in the 1990's, and editor of Intelligent Design Creationism and Its Critics (MIT Press, 2001). Among Pennock s 2007 publications are articles on Investigating the Emergence of Phenotypic Plasticity in Evolving Digital Organisms , Learning Evolution and the Nature of Science using Evolutionary
Computing and Artificial Life , Models, Simulations, Instantiations and Evidence: The Case of Digital Evolution , God of the Gaps: The Argument from Ignorance and the Limits of Methodological Naturalism
and Biology and Religion the last in the Cambridge Companion to Philosophy of Biology. Apart from scholarly pursuits, Pennock is a staunch defender of
proper and sound science education. He was an expert witness in the critical Kitzmiller et al v. Dover Area School Board trial of 2005; he is president of Michigan Citizens for Science; and chair of the
Education Committee of the Society for the Study of Evolution; he has long been on the Editorial Committee and a reviewer for Science & Education.
