Michael Reiss

Michael J. Reiss FRSA FRSB (born 1960) is a British bioethicist, educator, and journalist.

[2] He began his career as a schoolteacher at Hills Road Sixth Form College, Cambridge in 1983.

He was formerly head of the School of Mathematics, Science, and Technology at the Institute of Education, University College London.

In science education, he currently directs projects funded by the Department for Children, Schools and Families, including a longitudinal, ethnographic study of pupils' learning, currently in its eleventh year.

"[12] Reiss argued that it was more effective to engage with pupils' ideas about creationism, rather than to obstruct discussion with those who do not accept the scientific version of the evolution of species.
