Jeurel Singleton



Dr. Jeurel Singleton, or Dr. Critter as she was affectionately dubbed during the Spring 1999 Semester At Sea (Study abroad program through the Institute for Shipboard Education of the University of Pittsburgh) voyage with MTV "Road Rules" students, has over 20 years of experience teaching Biological Sciences in Canada and the United States. She specializes in General Biology for majors and non-majors, Entomology, Parasitology, Environmental Sciences, Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Natural History  of the Vertebrates, Ecology,  and Conservation Biology. She has traveled extensively, literally circling the earth, and has many delicious insect recipes. Dr. Critter is the woman you want to be stranded on a deserted island with.

Jeurel grew up with six siblings on a very poor farm in Arkansas. She loves hunting (with bow and arrow, mostly), fishing, and hiking; and is a certified Creek (Muskogee Tribe) medicine woman. She is currently working on a memoir about growing up poor in the south during the "Jim Crow" days, writing a textbook on Environmental Science and one on Medical and Veterinary Entomology, and also enjoys writing children stories and poems.
