Daniel Barton Oerther (born October 11, 1972) is an American professor. He is best known for leadership bridging engineering and nursing to advance environmental health practice through science diplomacy. Oerther uses 16S ribosomal RNA-targeted techniques for fundamental studies of the ecology of bacteria in engineered and natural systems. [1] He promotes transdisciplinarity among engineers, nurses, and sanitarians [2] [3] [4] to improve access to clean water, nutritious food, and efficient energy use in developing communities. [5] [6] Oerther practices innovation in the scholarship of teaching and learning, including modified mastery learning. [7] [8] [9]

Life and education

Born in Columbus, Ohio, Oerther grew up in Louisville, Kentucky, and graduated from Saint Xavier High School. He earned a Baccalaureate of Arts (BA) in Biological Sciences (1995) and a Baccalaureate of Sciences (BS) in Environmental Engineering (1995) from Northwestern University. He earned a Masters of Science (MS) in Environmental Engineering (1998) and a Doctorate of Philosophy (PhD) (2002) from the University of Illinois. He completed post-doctoral training in microbial ecology at the Marine Biological Laboratory, environmental health at the University of Cincinnati, public health at Johns Hopkins University, and public administration at Indiana University Bloomington.

Controversies

In December 2007, Oerther led a trip to Tanzania with nonprofit Village Life Outreach Project that included nursing student Sarah Lamkin. [10] Oerther and Lamkin began a romantic affair, including openly kissing in front of other students during a December 2009 Honors program trip to India that Oerther led. In 2010, Dan Oerther left his wife and 2 children [11] , marrying Sarah and moving to the Missouri University of Science and Technology. In response, the University of Cincinnati cut all ties with Oerther based on unprofessional conduct, and instructed nonprofits that he worked with such as Village Life Outreach Project and Shirati Health, Education, Development Foundation to do the same.
