Dr. Bill's Biosketch

Bill Klemm, a professor of neuroscience, is a noted speaker with over 40 years of university teaching and research experience at Texas A&M University and Iowa State University. Additionally, he has given numerous memory improvement talks to lay audiences in clubs, in schools, and regional and national meetings. These talks have also been given at numerous state and national meetings of school teachers to show them how they can help their students to remember school lessons. Many of these presentations draw standing-room only attendance. Some teachers have said that Bill’s talk was the best at the whole meeting.

Bill goes to schools to conduct all-day workshops on memory for teachers. He has also given talks in public schools about science to students in grades ranging from the second grade to the eighth grade. He develops science curriculum for middle school children (see http://peer.tamu.edu).

Other public speaking experience includes completion of the Dale Carnegie course in leadership and public speaking. Bill has been President of about a half-dozen organizations and has chaired numerous committees, where he got valuable experience from presiding over meetings. During an eight-year period as a Colonel in the Air Force Reserves, he gave frequent briefings to staff and commanders at the Headquarters of Air Force Human Systems Division. He has also given briefings to the headquarters of the National Security Agency. For over 40 years, he has given on the order of five or six talks each year about his research to colleagues at local, state, national, and international meetings.

Bill has been interviewed many times on radio and television, most recently in regard to his book on memory. Bill has even made political campaign speeches during his run for the School Board in his city.

He is a widely cited neuroscientist who has published over 400 research papers, 45 book chapters, and 13 books on a broad range of topics, including distance education technology, radiation effects on the nervous system, brainstem physiology, immobility responses ("animal hypnosis"), behavioral pharmacology, animal electroencephalography, pheromones in animal reproduction, mechanisms of alcohol and narcotic action, memory, and human cognition. He has served on the official Editorial Boards of 11 scholarly journals.

His published memory research ranges from white rats to college sophomores. A recent book is on applying scientific discoveries to practical applications for improving memory. He gives presentations around the country helping people to improve their memory. He publishes a "Memory Medic" advice column where people can submit specific questions about memory difficulties and get customized help for their problem.  He also gives memory presentations and workshops about memory to students, teachers, and the elderly. His most recent book is an e-book textbook, Core Ideas In Neuroscience.
