About Your Instructors:
Ben Brammell, an assistant professor at Asbury University has had a passion for biology since he was a young child, when he would wait each day for the drudgery of school to end so that he could escape into the wild to study the flora and fauna of streams, fields and ponds. With a Ph.D. in Biology, Brammell has been teaching at Asbury University since 2010.
