Richard Gordon (theoretical biologist)
Richard (Dick) Gordon is an American theoretical biologist. He was born in Brooklyn, New York on Nov 6, 1943, the eldest son of Jack Gordon, a salesman and American handball champion,〔(US Handball Hall of Fame )〕 and artist Diana Gordon. He is married to retired scientist Natalie K Björklund with whom he cowrote his second book and several academic publications. He has three sons, Leland, Bryson and Chason Gordon and three stepchildren Justin, Alan and Lana Hunstad. Gordon was a professor at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, Canada 1978-2011. He is retired and currently works as an emeritus scientist for the Gulf Specimen Marine Laboratory in Panacea, Florida where he winters, and he holds an adjunct position in the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, Wayne State University. Gordon lives in Alonsa, Manitoba, Canada.
==Academic career==
Gordon was educated at University of Chicago where he did an undergraduate degree in Mathematics and a PhD at University of Oregon in Chemical Physics under Terrell L Hill. His thesis was ''On Stochastic Growth and Form and Steady State Properties of Ising Lattice Membranes''. He published his first paper in 1966.〔Gordon, R.(On stochastic growth and form ) Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America 56(5), 1497-1504 1966〕 Gordon is an eclectic scientist and prolific writer with over 200 peer reviewed publications in a wide number of fields. He has edited 16 academic books and special issues of scientific journals including two books of his own.〔Gordon, R. (The Hierarchical Genome and Differentiation Waves: Novel Unification of Development, Genetics and Evolution ) Singapore & London, World Scientific & Imperial College Press, 1999〕 He has been summoned twice to the Canadian Parliament to testify as an expert scientific witness.〔Gordon, R. & B.J.

Gordon (Statement on Peer Review to Standing Committee on Industry, Science and Technology ) Parliament of Canada, November 29, 2001, Ottawa, Parliament of Canada.〕 He is best known for interdisciplinary and cross disciplinary work bridging biology with fields such as mathematics, engineering, physics and chemistry. He wrote the first paper on diatom nanotechnology founding that field.〔Gordon, R. & B.D.
