Dr. Gehrels teaches an undergraduate course, Universe & Humanity, Origins & Future, in Tucson each Fall, and a brief graduate version of that in the Spring in India at the Physical Research Laboratory in Ahmedabad, where he is a lifetime Fellow.

His research is presently on Universal Evolution, which operates from before the Multiverse to Modern Society, and he weaves that in as the guiding thread through these courses. He also is the recipient of the Masursky Award for the Space Science Series books, 2007.

Member: AAS, IAU, Hiroshima Astronomical Society (Honorary)
