well.What are you most interested in as a biologist? I am a developmental biologist. The thing I love about developmental biology is that you’re a jack of all trades. It’s a mix of molecular, genetics, cell biologies, anatomy and physiology. It’s all these different biology disciplines merged into one. A few decades ago it would have been called embryology. I’m really interested in cell interactions and how cells actually communicate with each other while an embryo is developing. And so, how do they

July 23, 2009 Biology professors win coveted Murdock grants Turning over barnacle-encrusted rocks, one by one, craning your neck to catch a glimpse of a bird or sloshing through a muddy tributary might not seem like hard core scientific endeavors. But think again. It’s research such as this that gleaned three assistant professors of biology – Michael Behrens, Julie Smith and Jacob Egge – grants totaling more than $120,000. The support, provided by the Vancouver, Wash. based M.J. Murdock

January 14, 2011 New biology lab an interactive plus for students By Barbara Clements The lab tucked in the north side of the Rieke Science Center is all about drywall, dust and stacks of cabinets right now. But come spring semester, the new Louis and Lydia Sheffels Biology Laboratory, otherwise known as Room #136, will open up to new work stations and new equipment.
